Health Care Heroes
Of the over three million confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide, more than 53,000 of those are in Canada. Half of the over 3,200 coronavirus disease-related deaths are linked to outbreaks in long-term care homes. The most common way the virus spreads is by respiratory droplets. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, and an uninfected person comes into contact with these droplets and touches their mouth, nose or eyes before washing their hands, the uninfected person can become infected.
