By MYRON LOVE

(IRCOM) – all of whom came to Canada as refugees - to share their stories.

Some things you may not have known about seniors and COVID-19

seniors coronavirusBy HARRIS GULKO
The coronavirus causing COVID-19 was confirmed to have reached Canada on January 27, 2020, after an individual who had returned to Toronto from Wuhan, Hubei, China, tested positive.
