Wawa's Lady Dunn Health Centre's tightening visitor restrictions.
Noting the increased spread of COVID-19 in Algoma, the hospital says - starting Monday, November 22nd - all visitors to the acute care department will be subject to the same visiting guidelines as those for the long-term care home, with up to two people able to visit at a time with proof of vaccination.
It's also asking those seeking care in the emergency department, laboratory, and diagnostic imaging to bring only a single support person.
There are some exemptions, such as for vulnerable individuals, those with a medical exemption for COVID vaccination, end-of-life situations, trauma or critical illness, those accompanying minors, support for patients in labour, those with rapid antigen testing complete, and - on an individual basis - children under the age of 12.
