Quebec seniors' homes and long-term care facilities have emerged as a key risk point in the province's fight to contain COVID-19. The CIUSSS Centre-Sud-de-l'Île-de-Montréal confirmed Wednesday that there are 3 confirmed cases and 21 suspected cases at the CHSLD Manoir de Verdun. Among the 410 locations with a recorded case of COVID-19, 184 are long-term care homes, 114 are seniors' residences, and 112 other kinds of facilities where seniors live. Visits to long-term care homes have been prohibited to prevent the spread of the virus since March 21. Earlier this week, the province announced $133 million in emergency aid to seniors' homes and long-term care facilities.
