Six of nine long-term care homes in Regina have had outbreak status lifted in light of the instrument error at the Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory that led to 255 invalid COVID-19 test results last week.

Those homes where confirmed or suspected outbreaks have been lifted, allowing for a return to Recovery Phase family visitation, are Regina Lutheran Home, Santa Maria, Extendicare Parkside, Extendicare Sunset, Regina Pioneer Village-Transitional Care Unit and Wascana Rehabilitation Centre-Units 2-6. However, three Regina long-term care homes remain at Level 3 end of life reasons only, still considered to have confirmed or suspected outbreak of COVID-19, are Extendicare Elmview, Regina Pioneer Village Complex Care Unit and Wascana Rehab Centre Mental Health Unit.
