Abstract

The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had a catastrophic impact on Canada's long-term care system. This report compares the experiences of the five Canadian provinces that were most affected by COVID-19. This includes a comparison of the five mandates that provincial governments implemented in order to protect long-term care residents. Findings from this report indicate that the Canadian provinces whose long-term care systems were most devastated by COVID-19 failed their residents by responding too slowly compared with provinces with similar long-term care systems. This lesson should guide policy reform to safeguard residents during the second wave and beyond.

摘要

COVID-19 大流行的第一波对加拿大的长期护理系统造成了灾难性的影响。本报告比较了受 COVID-19 影响最严重的五个加拿大省份的经验。这包括比较省政府为保护长期护理居民而实施的五个任务。本报告的调查结果表明，与长期护理系统类似的省份相比，加拿大长期护理系统受 COVID-19 破坏最严重的省份反应太慢，辜负了居民。这一教训应指导政策改革，以在第二波疫情及以后保障居民的安全。
