Message to the Community from President and CEO Lynn Guerriero and Chief of Staff Dr. Johan Viljoen
Healthcare professionals across the Niagara region are mobilizing to respond to an increase in COVID-19 related cases in the coming weeks due to the highly transmissible Omicron variant.
Modification à compter du mardi 21 décembre des lignes directrices concernant les visiteurs et les partenaires de soins essentiels
À partir du mardi 21 décembre, les visiteurs et les partenaires de soins essentiels devront fournir une preuve de vaccination (confirmant qu’ils ont reçu la deuxième dose il y a au moins 14 jours) avant d’entrer dans l’hôpital. De plus, une seule personne à la fois pourra se trouver au chevet d’un patient. Ces changements résultent de la propagation rapide du variant Omicron et visent à rendre le milieu hospitalier le plus sécuritaire possible.

Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 21, visitors and Essential Care Partners must show proof of vaccination (i.e. 14-days since second dose) before entering the hospital and only one person can be at a patient’s bedside at a time. These changes are a result of the evolving situation with the Omicron variant and will help us maintain the safest environment possible in the hospital.
