The Temiskaming Speaker
TEMISKAMING SHORES – As COVID-19 cases across the province and in hospital intensive care units continued to rise, Ontario returned to lockdown and Temiskaming Hospital reinstated its visitor restrictions.
Beginning April 3, only essential care partners will be permitted in the hospital in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
“This difficult decision is intended as a precaution to keep patients and our healthcare teams safe as transmission rates rise within the province and as do the number of cases of variant strains,” said Erin Montgomery, chief nursing executive and director of patient services, in a news release last week.
