In his video update he shared that “a lot of these people have been older”. 86% of those admitted are unvaccinated including one person from The Pines Retirement Home. He stressed that the elderly and anyone with additional diseases is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of a COVID-19 infection.
He went on to stress that it's necessary to take precautions to protect those vulnerable individuals including proper mask wearing, hand washing and even taking a lateral flow test before visiting the elderly.
