Please be advised that the visitation restriction on the 3rd floor (3A) Medicine Unit at Western Memorial Regional Hospital, Corner Brook has been lifted. The visitation restriction was put in place last week due to the number of patients admitted to the unit with gastrointestinal illness.
To prevent the spread of infection in any institution in the Western Health region, we ask the public to wash/sanitize your hands when you enter or leave any of Western Health's facilities.
As well, Western Health recommends that anyone experiencing gastrointestinal like symptoms including vomiting and/or diarrhea refrain from visiting any of our facilities until at least 48 hours after your last symptoms.
Western Health would like to thank the public for their co-operation during this temporary visitation restriction.
