Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Like any observational study, this study has limitations, including possible incompleteness of data collected rapidly during an outbreak, inconsistency in testing across Ontario, and absence of individual-level data on LTC infections and deaths. We regard our outcome of interest, death in LTC from COVID-19 to be less likely misclassified than non-fatal infection in staff and residents. If misclassification of infection status in these individuals occurs at random, that would likely mean the effects reported here are lower bound effects. If under-identification of both fatal infections and infections in residents and staff are clustered by home, that would result in effects that are biased upwards. The temporality in the effects we observe provides a degree of reassurance in this regard.
