A refugee shelter in downtown Toronto is reporting four cases of COVID-19, and the organization that manages the facility says multiple other cases of the virus have appeared at other shelters in the city. Patricia Mueller is the chief executive officer of the organisation Homes First, which runs the Strachan House in downtown Toronto. Earlier this week, dozens of staff walked out of a group home for disabled adults in Markham, Ont., after multiple staff and residents tested positive for the coronavirus. And in the Montreal area, 31 residents at a long-term care home have died since last month after workers walked off the job there. The province reported another 401 cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, bringing the total number of cases to above 7,000.
