Beset by labour shortages, a fragile health-care network and infected workers, Quebec’s senior care centres were hit with a perfect storm of negative circumstances during COVID-19’s first wave, Horacio Arruda told a coroner’s inquiry on Thursday.

But considering that Quebec had detailed plans on how to protect itself against pandemics that identified those issues and presented solutions like conscripting essential service workers, coroner Géhane Kamel said, questions remain as to how the province fared so badly at protecting its senior citizens.

“As a human, there is something in us that needs to ask: ‘How is it that the train crashed into us like this?’ ”

As the director of public health for the province, Arruda’s testimony was keenly anticipated at the inquest into the deaths at Quebec’s long-term care homes (CHSLDs). More than 5,000 seniors died in the province’s care centres between March and August 2020 , which was among the highest-fatality rate in seniors’ care facilities in the world.

On Thursday afternoon, testifying for three and a half hours at the inquiry whose intent is to find solutions as opposed to guilty parties, Arruda outlined in a 48-page presentation the many ways in which Quebec was prepared for COVID-19. As head of public health in the province since 2012, he has been through numerous pandemics already, he said.

Word of a worrisome virus in China was received in Quebec by Dec. 30, he said. When Canada’s chief public health officer informed authorities on Jan. 2, directives were soon sent to public health directors in the province. By Jan. 23, when 221 cases and two deaths had been reported in four countries, all regional health authorities were alerted, as well as the province’s civil security organizations, Arruda said.

On March 12, the day before a health emergency was announced in the province, among the first directives given was for returning travellers to avoid CHSLDs for 14 days, he said. “Because it flares up if it enters a CHSLD.”

“Seniors were always at the top of our priorities,” Arruda said. “Whether it was in the community, in CHSLDs or private residences. Even if we didn’t have all the epidemiological information yet, we knew that severe respiratory diseases generally hit the … the most aged. They are the most vulnerable.”

Declaring a health emergency and shutting down Quebec society “is one of the decisions, I am convinced, that saved a lot of lives, as much in the community as in CHSLDs,” because it limited contacts, he said.

People over 70 were advised to stay home, bingos were cancelled and instructions on washing hands and wearing masks were sent out. Part of the problem, Arruda said, was not everyone heeded instructions.

Personal caregivers were barred from old-age homes, a move criticized because it might have robbed seniors in understaffed CHSLDs from receiving any care. Arruda said the government couldn’t take the chance initially because caregivers tend to be older and were at risk.

Coroner Kamel noted that Quebec studies going back to 2006 on flu pandemics predicted more than 30 per cent of staff might be missing, and governments would have to be proactive in buying protective equipment like masks because there would be global competition.
