Influenza Outbreaks at La Verendrye General Hospital Declared Over
January 12, 2025
Riverside Health Care, in conjunction with the Northwestern
Public Health Unit, has declared an end to the Influenza outbreak at La
Verendrye General Hospital affecting both in-patient units.
Restrictions are no longer in place. We would like to
remind everyone that we remain a mask-friendly facility, and we encourage everyone
to be diligent in always preventing the spread of infection. While all
restrictions have been lifted, we continue to ask that any individual
experiencing symptoms of illness refrain from visiting our facilities.
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.
We understand the challenges posed by an outbreak and thank
everyone for their understanding and continued cooperation and support.
