COVID-19 Outbreak at La Verendrye General Hospital Declared Over
November 28, 2024
Riverside Health Care, in conjunction with the Northwestern Public Health Unit, has declared an end to the first-floor COVID-19 outbreak at La Verendrye General Hospital.
We would like to remind everyone that our facilities remain mask-friendly and we encourage our team members and visitors to be diligent in always preventing the spread of infection. While visitor restrictions have been lifted, we continue to ask that any individual experiencing symptoms of illness refrain from visiting.
Our top priority is the health and safety of all clients, patients, family members, other loved ones, and our staff members.
The public is reminded to prevent getting and spreading infections by:
- Washing hands often, for at least 15 seconds with soap and warm water or by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer,
- Maintaining good cough and sneeze etiquette (into a tissue, your sleeve or elbow),
- Putting all used tissues in the garbage right away,
- Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, and
- Staying at home if sick, to avoid spreading infections to others.
We understand the challenges and hindrances posed by an outbreak and thank everyone for their understanding and continued cooperation and support.
