Please be advised that the visitation restriction on the Veterans Affairs Canada Unit at Corner Brook Long Term Care Home has been lifted. The visitation restriction was put in place earlier this week due to the number of residents on 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.
