RÉDACTION EAP nouvelles@eap.on.ca
COVID-19. Le BSEO procède actuellement à des tests de dépistage prioritaires dans 17 éta- blissements de soins de longue durée de sa juridiction. Il effectuera également des tests dans les 35 centres de retraite pour personnes âgées et autres établissements d’hébergement collectif dans les comtés de Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott et Russell ainsi que la ville de Cornwall. Le BSEO a aussi l’intention d’effectuer des tests de dépistage dans les garderies d’urgence autorisées par le gouvernement Ford pour combler les besoins du personnel des services essentiels dans la région. Le Dr Roumeliotis a indiqué qu’il aimerait effectuer des tests de dépistages supplémentaires dans tous les établissements de soins de longue durée, les foyers pour personnes âgées et les centres d’hébergement une fois la première série de tests de dépistages terminée.

C’est ce qu’a annoncé le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) dans un communiqué de presse envoyé par courriel lundi après-midi aux médias locaux. « Cette nouvelle m’attriste, a déclaré Dr Paul Roumeliotis, médecin-chef du BSEO.

the result of recent outbreaks in long-term facilities within the Five Counties area. As of May 4 the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases for the EOHU’s jurisdiction is 101, and that figure includes 20 cases resulting from outbreaks in three group care facilities, along with two fatalities. The CV19 status summary on the EOHU website noted 54 cases resolved, which means that more than half of the individuals who were infected have recovered. The EOHU website noted that the Pinecrest Nursing Home in Plantagenet and the Woodland Villa long-term care facility west of Cornwall have confirmed outbreaks. The first confirmed deaths due to COVID-19 have occurred in Plantagenet. Another outbreak was recorded for Milieux de vie à l’Érablière, a Valoris group home in Plantagenet but is now classed as resolved.

Some of the provincial government’s pandemic control restrictions over businesses are starting to relax, but Eastern Ontario’s regional health officer urges residents in this area not to stop practising social distancing just yet. “We’re at the point where people are anxious and want to get outside,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, chief medical officer for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU). “Just be a bit more patient.” Dr. Roumeliotis noted, during his regular media teleconferences on the COVID-19 situation in Eastern Ontario, that the overall number of COVID-19 cases resulting from “community transmission” has remained stable for the most part. The last couple of jumps in the total number of cases is
