Local Hospitals Highlight Important Warnings

Chapleau Health Services says visitors are not permitted until further notice, while anyone experiencing new cough or cold symptoms and fever after travelling to an impacted area - or contact with someone who has - is advised to self-isolate for fourteen days and monitor symptoms, though medical attention's advised if you experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or a continuous fever above 38 degrees Celsius.
Wawa's Lady Dunn Health Centre is allowing visitors, but says "active screening" is in place: all out-patients and visitors must enter through the main entrance for active screening at registration, and anyone who is unwell is urged not to visit Long-Term Care residents or patients, while screening will also be done in pre-appointment reminder calls.
It also advises anyone who attended the recent PDAC conference to monitor symptoms for fourteen days, and self-isolate if any develop, calling health care professionals or Algoma Public Health to arrange for testing.
