But Dr. Merrilee Fullerton is defending her government’s handling of the pandemic overall, telling CP24 that it has brought “every measure and every tool” to the table in an effort to protect our most vulnerable from a “terrible virus” that has now claimed the life of 2,688 residents in long-term care homes.
