Northern Health Region CEO Helga Bryant says due to COVID-19 they have set up protocols for entering the hospital.  She says they have screeners at their doors so a screen is done on people that need to come into the hospitals, they have limited visiting hours across the province, there’s really no visitors allowed except in unusual circumstances or for compassionate reasons and that is another reason why they have really reduced the number of elective procedures.

Bryant reminds you if you are experiencing flu like symptoms and have a relevant travel history contact Health Links at 1-888-315-9257.  If testing is indicated you will be referred to the testing site.
