Ontario long-term care homes easing up on COVID-19 restrictions

COVID-19 restrictions are gradually being lifted at long-term care homes in Ontario.

With key public health and health care indicators continuing to improve, officials say as of Monday the maximum number of designated caregivers is increasing from two to four per resident.

The limit will still be two caregivers for each resident at one time.

Residents who have had at least three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine will be able to resume social day trips.
