Older people are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, including and especially people living in long-term care facilities. In this Perspective, we discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on long-term care policy in Canada. More specifically, we use the example of recent developments in Quebec, where a tragedy in a specific facility is acting as a dramatic "focusing event". It draws attention to the problems facing long-term care facilities, considering existing policy legacies and the opening of a "policy window" that may facilitate comprehensive reforms in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
老年人尤其容易感染 COVID-19，包括尤其是居住在长期护理设施中的人。在本观点文章中，我们讨论了 COVID-19 大流行对加拿大长期护理政策的影响。更具体地说，我们以魁北克的最新事态发展为例，在该地区的一个特定设施中发生的悲剧充当了戏剧性的“焦点事件”。它提请人们注意长期护理设施所面临的问题，同时考虑到现有政策遗产以及“政策窗口”的开启，这可能会在 COVID-19 大流行之后为全面改革提供便利。
