Scores of people protested outside a Scarborough long-term care home on Saturday to draw attention to conditions inside the facility where 60 residents have died of COVID-19.
Tendercare Living Centre, 1020 McNicoll Ave., has lost 60 residents to the novel coronavirus as of Saturday, according to North York General Hospital (NYGH). The provincial government asked NYGH on Dec. 25 to help the home manage its COVID-19 outbreak for 90 days.
