Visitors: As per the Chief Medical Officer of Health, only essential visitors will be allowed to visit our Long-Term Care Homes. As such, we are also restricting visitors to our hospitals to protect our patients. The ministry is identifying essential visitors as those who have a Patient/Resident who is dying or very ill or a parent/guardian of an ill child or youth in a live-in treatment setting.
There will be screening at the main entrances.
All outpatients will be screened.
Clinics/outpatient services: Some of our outpatient services could be impacted. You will be notified if your appointment is deferred or cancelled.
