Exceptions for visitation may be made on a case-by-case basis for immediate family members of the terminally ill. Please contact the health centre directly for instructions. Visitation bans are also in effect for Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook and the Dr. Charles L. LeGrow Health Centre in Port aux Basques.
People who have had vomiting and diarrhea or other flu like symptoms are asked to refrain from visiting any of Western Health’s facilities. Individuals with any of these symptoms should rest at home, drink fluids, practice proper hand washing with hot water and soap, and if the symptoms persist contact their physician.
Western Health would like to thank the public for their cooperation in helping prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
