Les centres d’évaluation COVID-19 de Santé Niagara suivront la directive du gouvernement de l’Ontario concernant les tests de dépistage en donnant la priorité aux personnes qui sont le plus à risque.
Au cours de la semaine dernière, aux trois centres d’évaluation COVID-19 de Santé Niagara, il y a eu une hausse importante du nombre de personnes qui veulent subir un test de dépistage. En effet, entre le 11 et le 17 septembre, on a réalisé 3 484 tests, soit une moyenne de près de 500 tests par jour. Le 16 septembre, on a effectué un nombre record de tests, soit 665.
There has been a significant increase in the number of patients seeking testing over the past week, with 3,484 tests performed between Sept. 11 to 17.
We have missed our volunteers over the past six months and are happy to begin safely welcoming them back to our sites.
Nous observons tous la hausse du nombre de cas de COVID-19 dans les communautés d’un bout à l’autre de l’Ontario, y compris la région de Niagara. Heureusement, pour le moment, il n’y a à l’hôpital aucun patient qui se fait traiter pour la COVID.
