Villa Leonardo Gambin Care Community in Woodbridge says they have 12 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among residents and another three team members have also tested positive.
Ten of the residents have been placed in isolation on the facility’s sixth floor while two others are on the seventh floor. The three team members have been in self-isolation at home ever since they began showing symptoms.

Both homes say they were taking precautions prior to the positive tests and have instituted more measures based on directives from Public Health including cancelling all group recreational activities.
