Gastro Outbreak Declared Over at Emo Health Centre
January 08, 2025
Riverside Health Care in
conjunction with the Northwestern Health Unit has declared the Gastrointestinal
Outbreak at Emo Health Centre over.
Restrictions are no longer
in effect for visitors and residents. Riverside continues to have our detailed
safety procedures and infection prevention control practices in place, which
are designed to ensure the health and safety of our staff, the community, and
those within our care.
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);
·
Immediately putting all used tissues in the
garbage;
·
Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, or mouth;
and
·
Staying at home if sick, to avoid spreading
infections to others.
We thank you for your
continued support and commitment to protecting the health and safety of those
we serve, their loved ones, our team members, and the community.
