Abstract
in English, French

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to thousands of deaths; of these, a disproportionate number has occurred in long-term care settings. The papers presented here deal with a number of issues highlighted by this crisis in several jurisdictions, including Ontario, Quebec and the Netherlands. Analyzing these may give us some insight into what is necessary to prevent this disaster from happening again.

La pandémie de COVID-19 a fait des milliers de morts. Un nombre disproportionné de ceux-ci a eu lieu dans des établissements de soins de longue durée. Les articles présentés ici traitent d'un certain nombre d'enjeux mis en évidence par cette crise dans plusieurs endroits, dont l'Ontario, le Québec et les Pays-Bas. Leur analyse peut nous donner une idée de ce qui est nécessaire pour empêcher que ce type de catastrophe ne se reproduise.
