April 01, 2026

Riverside Health Care is pleased to announce that the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) outbreak on the 1st Floor Inpatient Unit at La Verendrye General Hospital (LVGH) has now been declared over, in consultation with the Northwestern Public Health Unit.

While the outbreak has ended, enhanced masking protocols remain in effect across all Riverside Health Care facilities as part of our continued efforts to protect patients, residents, staff, and visitors during respiratory illness season.

Medical masks are required in all patient and resident care areas, including patient/resident rooms and hallways, treatment areas, waiting rooms, and common or shared spaces where care is provided. Masks must be worn while providing care or visiting patients and residents.

We continue to remind the public to self-screen prior to visiting loved ones at any Riverside hospital or long-term care facility. Individuals should avoid visiting if they are feeling unwell.

We extend our sincere thanks to our staff and the community for their cooperation and commitment to infection prevention and control measures throughout the outbreak.

Riverside Health Care remains committed to the safety and well-being of all those we serve.
