In it’s weekly update, the regional hospital has updated it’s pandemic response level.
As of July 4th, the internal COVID-19 Pandemic Response Level has moved from Orange (Restrict) to Yellow (Protect).
The hospital states that the decision to move from Orange (Restrict) to Yellow (Protect) was made based on decreasing numbers of COVID-19 cases within the community and region. It’s also noted that there have been continued decreases in covid cases over the last few weeks. However, masking and entrance screening guidelines remain in place at TBRHSC.
It was was also noted that their response level change doesn’t change safety measures for Essential Care Partners (ECPs).
All ECPs are required to continue to follow these safety measures:
- Complete the screening process at our entrance.
- Wear a mask at all times.
- Go directly to the patient’s room you are visiting, stay in the patient’s room for the entire duration of your visit and then exit the building.
- Do no eat or drink while you are at TBRHSC, including in patient rooms.
- Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer frequently.
