VANCOUVER Researchers at Simon Fraser University estimate that rapid testing for COVID-19 - if it had been available - could have prevented as many as half of the deaths from the disease in long-term care and assisted-living facilities in B.C. in 2020. The research - shared Friday by SafeCare BC, an industry association that advocates for care workers in the province - looked at two possible scenarios for using rapid tests in long-term care and modelled what the outcome of each scenario might be. The first scenario considered testing care home staff on a weekly basis, while the second one modelled testing of staff every three days.

The report, by Ernst & Young, said specific policy orders from the provincial health officer were interpreted differently by health authorities and there were gaps in infection prevention and control as well as emergency preparedness. “Specific policy directives could sometimes be confusing, inconsistent, or lacking in detail, which led to operational variation, specifically related to (personal protective equipment), (infection prevention and control) practices, single site order policy and essential visitor policy and guidelines,” the report notes. It also highlighted a lack of consistent provincial policy on how health authorities and facility operators handled residents who tested positive for COVID-19. Those in health authority-operated facilities generally reported receiving better support than those in privately owned and operated facilities.
