The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and the Environment has announced that public visitation at the Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre has resumed.
This follows a temporary suspension in early March due to a suspected Norovirus outbreak among staff and patients.
In a press release, the Ministry stated: “To ensure the continued safety of patients, staff, and visitors, strict health protocols will remain in place.”
These include, but are not limited to: denying entry to visitors with symptoms of infectious diseases, mandatory hand hygiene before and during visits, and limiting visitation time to reduce exposure risks.
“The Ministry urges all visitors to comply with these measures to protect the well-being of staff and the many vulnerable individuals at the facility. Anyone experiencing vomiting or diarrhea is asked to refrain from visiting until fully recovered,” the press release said.
The Ministry also stated that it will continue monitoring the situation and updating the public accordingly. It also thanked the public for their cooperation and support in maintaining a safe and healthy environment.
