A male teenager who worked at an Ontario long-term care home has died of COVID-19, the Middlesex-London public health unit said Saturday. The other two people who died, a man in his 60s and a woman in her 80s, were also associated with long-term care homes. He added, however, that the health unit believes some members of his immediate household may end up testing positive for the virus. In an email to CBC Toronto, Ontario's long term care ministry confirmed the death of a long-term care home worker but provided no other details. "We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of all long-term care staff working under challenging conditions to care for our most vulnerable during the pandemic."
