Ottawa on Monday unveiled a new agreement with the Quebec government to invest $221 million to improve the protection of seniors living in long-term care facilities, particularly in CHSLDs.

This envelope will make it possible in particular to train more than 15,000 people in infection prevention and control and nearly 10,000 agents who will “ensure the implementation and maintenance of sanitary and safe practices”, announced the federal Minister of Health Jean. -Yves-Duclos.

A portion of this investment will also go towards renovating and improving long-term care facilities.

More details will follow.
