Three healthcare workers in the Intensive Care Unit have tested positive for COVID-19, meeting the definition of a unit-specific outbreak. This is the fifth inpatient unit outbreak of COVID-19 at the Niagara Falls hospital site.
The team in the Extended Care Unit has worked very hard to limit the spread of this highly contagious virus in the home and maintain a safe environment for the residents and staff.
We are closely monitoring COVID-19 activity at the Greater Niagara General Site and are now declaring an outbreak on Unit D due to the confirmation of four positive healthcare worker cases associated with the unit.
Our COVID-19 Assessment Centre in Niagara Falls will be open for COVID-19 testing on Christmas Day, while our testing centres in Welland and St. Catharines will be closed.
Our team members continue to aggressively plan so that we are prepared at the local level to begin administering the COVID-19 vaccine in Niagara.
Maintaining connections with others is always important for your mental health, but especially during a pandemic that has put limits on the amount of in-person contact people have with each another.
Our hospital team is taking immediate action to contain the virus and protect residents and staff.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause patients and their loved ones, but these measures are in place for everyone’s safety.
Due to ongoing transmission of COVID-19 cases at Millennium Trail Manor, the decision has been made to declare a facility-wide outbreak.
