WINGHAM, ONT. Seven staff members and three patients at the Listowel Memorial Hospital’s second floor Medicine Unit have contracted COVID-19. Hospital CEO, Karl Ellis confirmed the outbreak Wednesday afternoon. Ellis says all the new cases have been reported this week. All staff and physicians that have worked at the hospital since Dec. 11, are being requested to have a COVID test. Admissions to the medicine unit are longer being accepted, and patients that require admission will either be taken care of on the first floor complex care unit, or be redirected to neighbouring hospitals. Ellis says the COVID outbreak hasn’t led to any staff shortages yet, and that no patients will have be transferred to other hospitals, right now.
