People living in apartments and larger households were at higher risk of dying from COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic / by Fei-Ju Yang and Nicole Aitken.: CS45-28/1-2021-13E-PDF
"In Canada, social distancing measures were implemented in public spaces starting mid‑March 2020 because COVID‑19 is spread when an infected person comes in close contact with others (World Health Organization, 2020). However, social distancing can be a challenge for individuals sharing a home, especially if the space is small or there are many people living in the same space (Moos, McCulley, and Vinodrai, 2020). According to Schellenberg and Fonberg (2020), smaller residential units tend to have fewer bedrooms and living space, which can hinder the ability to practice social distancing when a family member has had contact with someone with COVID‑19 or tested positive for the virus. Additionally, having many people living in a small residential unit will increase the number of potential opportunities for COVID‑19 transmission"--Page [3].
