Norovirus and influenza A have rolled through Perth County’s long-term care homes.
Between December 1st and February 26th there have been 20 outbreaks between the two viruses.

Illnesses like influenza can kill people living in long-term care.
The PDHU says even with the best infection control practices it’s hard to stop a bug from spreading once it’s inside.
