MONTREAL—A coroner hearing testimony about the situation at a suburban Montreal long−term care home where 47 people died during the first wave of the COVID−19 pandemic said Friday she was shocked at how long it took to get proper help to residents.
Géhane Kamel made the comments after hearing from a nurse who arrived at Résidence Herron on April 9, 2020 with a team of a dozen nurses she’d recruited herself, nearly 10 days after regional health officials had seen the dire situation first−hand.
