They need to remove these people from every nursing home11:25 a.m.: Ontario is reporting that 52 people are now dead at the Orchard Villa long-term-care home in Pickering, the province’s worst outbreak.

More will die
Like 90 percent of the deaths are seniors sad
Which people and where to put them?
ntario released guidance Thursday for specific sectors, including office workers, retail and food service, construction, transportation, agriculture and film and TV. People in all sectors will be advised to stay home if they are unwell, wash their hands frequently, and institute cleaning procedures.
Recommendations include holding team meetings outdoors, staggering shift times and using ground markings and barriers to manage traffic flow.
Offices should be set up to maintain physical distancing of two metres, workstations and telephones should not be shared, and as many employees as possible should work from home, the guidelines say.
Retail businesses should consider more online ordering, delivery and curbside pick-up options, and having no contact with delivery customers by letting them know via text message that their package has arrived.
For in-store settings, businesses should rely more on cashless transactions, install barriers between cashiers and customers, introduce floor markings for physical distancing, sanitize carts and baskets, provide hand sanitizer for customers upon entry, control how many people are in the store at one time, and not accept reusable bags or containers.
“If the above recommendations are still not enough for your workplace, as a last resort, consider personal protective equipment (PPE),” the guidelines for cashiers say.
“PPE is only effective if people wear it correctly. Ensure PPE training includes the fit, use, care, putting on and taking off, maintenance, cleaning and limitations of the PPE.”
Transit services are encouraged to reduce the number of people on board by limiting passengers or modifying hours of service, have rear entry only on buses, and use visual cues or partitions to keep passengers at least two metres away from operators.
The guidelines also address physical changes to workplaces such as installing Plexiglas barriers, increasing the air intake on heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to increase air flow, and using boot sanitizing trays.
Labour Minister Monte McNaughton said the measures are not mandatory, but he expects businesses will follow the guidelines.
“It’s important for these businesses, obviously, to have their workers come back and show up when those specific businesses open, but it’s also … an economic issue because these businesses need customers coming in their doors as well,” he said.

You know we coulda done all this shyt without cratering our economy. Thry stoill can’t protect at risk people at the nursing homes.
You don't want to work in a unionized environment, trust me. Your rights as an employee is actually limited because if youre mistreated in the workplace, you're in the expense of the union, and they decide whether to file a grievance on your behalf or night. You can't file a lawsuit. If you have beef with your union, then you'll be in a sad state at the workplace
To me unions aren't really needed with all the labour laws we have.
You make less on average as well due to the bargaining agreements
pretty much
all they had to do is adopt the germany model make masks mandatory

The province says the following businesses will be able to begin operating on May 4 at 12:01 a.m.:

Glad to hear you're doing well. Also, people that don't think it's serious, this man almost took three weeks to recover. People over the age of 55 are not going to get 3 weeks to survive this.
