But it\u2019s not about a $3 premium. It\u2019s having adequate staff and knowing they have a team to do the job right. We are calling on the government now to put the resources in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are currently 626 long-term care homes in Ontario experiencing an outbreak of\u00a0<span data-scayt-word=\"COVID\" data-wsc-lang=\"en_CA\" data-wsc-id=\"kiw2225gef0oj9958\">COVID<\/span>-19.
