  MONTREAL A new study led by a MUHC researcher will attempt to determine why some residents of long-term care homes (CHSLDs) have been hit harder than others by the novel coronavirus. The Canadian government will spend $2.7 million through the COVID-19 Immunity Working Group on the study to identify the factors that make one resident more likely than another to develop a severe form of the disease and possibly die from it. This could lead to better infection control measures, help prioritize available medical care, and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, so as to protect the health-care system. It is not just because we are old that COVID is going to be serious, it is not automatic, said Dr. Donald Vinh, of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (MUHC).
