The administrator at the Bobcaygeon, Ont., nursing home which has been ravaged by a deadly coronavirus<\/a> outbreak says \u201cmany\u201d of the home\u2019s residents have now tested negative for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Mary Carr didn\u2019t provide an exact number of residents at Pinecrest Nursing Home in the village 50 kilometres north of Peterborough.<\/p>\n

Since an outbreak was declared at the 65-bed facility, 28 residents have died of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. A spouse of a resident also died of COVID-19 complications.<\/p>\n

A change in data from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit on Thursday determined one resident did not die of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The last death at the facility was reported on April 9, so it\u2019s now been 15 days without a death, Carr notes.<\/p>\n
