End of Outbreak of an Unidentified Respiratory Virus at CHSLD Heather

The outbreak is now over in unit 2 of the CHSLD.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO BE RESPECTED AT ALL TIMES FOR ALL VISITORS

We ask that you continue to complete the visitor log so that we can communicate with you in the event of an outbreak during your visits. Make sure you have NO flu-like or gastro-like symptoms before visiting your loved one.

Wearing a mask remains mandatory throughout the establishment until further notice. Hand hygiene must be practiced in all situations and places: among others, upon arrival, before and after visiting a resident, before and after an activity, before and after eating or drinking, after going to the toilet, when leaving, and after wearing gloves if necessary, to name a few times. Respiratory etiquette must also be practiced.

VERY IMPORTANT

If you ever develop symptoms, are positive for COVID or develop flu-like or gastro-like symptoms up to 48 hours after a visit to a CHSLD, please immediately notify the head of the CHSLD unit.

We thank you for respecting the basic infection prevention measures and those in force in the outbreak units. Our residents are at risk and so are our employees. It is together, by respecting the measures, that we can help reduce the risks of spread.

As the situation may change, the measures may also change without notice, so you should ensure you follow those indicated in the center during your visit.

Please note that status updates are only issued when the outbreak status changes. They are also available on the CHSLD website and Facebook page.
