We present a supporting analysis of the effects of lockdown in homes without COVID-19 outbreaks on depression, delirium, and behaviour problems in a network of seven LTC homes in New Brunswick, Canada where mitigative strategies were deployed to minimize poor mental health outcomes (e.g., virtual visits, increased student volunteers). The purpose of our article is to demonstrate how thoughtful use of mitigating strategies (e.g., 74 window visits, use of technology) and clinical information systems like the interRAI LTCF can 75 inform clinical care and prevent worsening mental health outcomes (depression, delirium, and 76 behavioural problems) during the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-260110-8tud5fao.txt	./txt/cord-260110-8tud5fao.txt
