General Public

The Ontario Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission has a mandate to investigate how and why COVID-19 spread in long-term care homes, what was done to prevent the spread, and the impact of key elements of the existing system on the spread.

It has the power to consider any further areas where the government should take action to help prevent the future spread of disease in long-term care homes.

The Commission has been asked by the government to submit a final report by April 30, 2021.

As an Ontario citizen, you can have your say on these issues before the Commission. The Commission will receive written submissions from the public. The deadline for making a written submission to the Commission is February 16, 2021.
