Lady Dunn Health Centre CEO Kadean Ogilvie says anyone who needs emergency services is encouraged to come to the hospital, though they prefer they're unaccompanied.

Ogilvie notes visits are currently not allowed for Acute Care patients, while visits to Long-Term Care patients are limited to the "designated caregiver" - per provincial regulations - but she reminds those who go to the hospital will be screened.
