A water leak has resulted in the movement of some patients at the hospital

There was a fresh water leak on the fifth floor of Flin Flon General Hospital early Sunday morning.  Communications Coordinator for the Northern Health Region Glen Hildebrand says they have taken the precaution of moving nine patients from the fifth floor to other locations in the hospital.  He says as soon as you end up having to disturb any of the ceiling tiles the infection control practices come in and you’re mindful of any potential airborne contamination so when folks are doing the clean up they’ll be wearing masks and the like to insure that they’re adequately protected.  He adds they’re also notifying the patients and the staff who were on the fifth floor during this period of time that this is the situation and these are the precautions they’re taking.

             

Hildebrand says the fifth floor will not be available for about a week as the clean up continues.
