A PSW at a Downsview long-term care home who died of COVID-19 is being remembered as beautiful, hardworking person

SEIU Healthcare said it is reaching out to Roberts' next of kin to offer whatever support is needed at this difficult time. “She's very hardworking, she likes to come to work early, she's agile, she’s punctual, she's dedicated,” Fatoba said Saturday evening. “It’s painful to lose people like that. I was so sorrowful when I heard this morning and I was disoriented because we miss a very important PSW in our home.”
“In contrast, we’re hearing a loud chorus of cries from health-care workers asking for masks being withheld due to rationing.” In a statement, GEM Health Care Group, the operators of the North York facility, said preventative measures have been in place as early as March 14. The facility said all staff caring for a resident who have tested positive for COVID-19 are wearing full PPE.
“We would need to be informed by the full investigation to understand all the factors that might have been involved,” Williams told reporters about the case.
