A respiratory virus outbreak's been declared for the Lady Dunn Health Centre's Acute Care wing.
In response, the Wawa hospital says masking is now required throughout the facility for all visitors and staff, while general visitors are not permitted until further notice, though patients in the Acute Care Wing can still be supported by two essential caregivers, and there are no changes to Long-Term Care visitation.
Further south, Sault Area Hospital's declared a COVID-19 outbreak in its 3B unit, requiring anyone visiting that unit to wear a mask at all times and use hand sanitizer upon entry and exit - people are also asked to limit visits as much as possible.
