THUNDER BAY Thunder Bay s two MPPs say they received heartbreaking pleas for help from the families of residents of the Southbridge Roseview long-term care home, where COVID-19 has claimed 20 lives to date.
Thunder Bay-Superior North Liberal MPP Michael Gravelle said he s heard a tremendous amount of concern about the coronavirus outbreak at the Shuniah Street facility.
Many of the callers, he said, worried about staffing levels in the home. Now, Southbridge Roseview insists they now have full staffing in place.but certainly that was not the case at the beginning of the pandemic, and was a real issue.
