Visiting has been temporarily paused at Northumberland Hills Hospital’s 2-A Medical Surgical Unit in response to a COVID-19 outbreak.
After consultation with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, NHH has temporarily paused visiting to the 2A Medical/Surgical Unit where the majority of confirmed COVID-19 cases are currently located.
Following the announcement of a previous COVID-19 outbreak earlier this month, new infections continue to develop with a clear pattern of linkage to both patient-to-patient and visitor contact.
Visiting continues outside the 2A Medical/Surgical unit unless patients are in isolation for COVID-19 infection or exposure.
If you are visiting NHH, or entering for medical purposes, please don a mask and wear it properly throughout your entire visit.
NHH’s COVID-19 status will continue to be communicated through the hospital’s website.
