COVID-19 at HGMH
The Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH) has declared a COVID-19 outbreak on our inpatient unit. As part of our outbreak management plan, HGMH continues to work closely with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit to strengthen infection prevention and control measures to minimize the impacts of this pandemic and deliver safe care to our community.
The safety and wellbeing of our patients, their families, our staff, and their loved ones continue to be our number one priority. As we continue to see community spread of COVID-19, HGMH remains vigilant and is actively preparing to respond to additional cases. Additional measures have been reinstated including restricting visitors in order to protect our vulnerable patients and our staff.
We have several staff members that have tested positive for COVID-19 who are isolating at home and staff that may have been exposed to COVID-19 have been contacted and the appropriate infection prevention and control procedures are being followed.
We would like to thank our staff and physicians who continue to provide the highest quality care during these challenging times.
