- Six more residents of a long-term care home in Barrie, Ont., have died after a yet-to-be-identified variant of COVID-19 was detected at the facility.
The local public health unit says 122 residents and 74 staff have been infected with COVID-19 since the outbreak began earlier this month.
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit says the unusually rapid spread of the virus at the nursing home prompted officials to test for variants of COVID-19.
