COVID-19 Outbreak on St. Mary's Seventh Floor Declared Over
May 22, 2022
In consultation with Region of Waterloo Public Health, St. Mary’s is declaring an end to our COVID-19 outbreak on our seventh floor. In total, the outbreak impacted four patients and three staff. We know how difficult this has been for our staff and patients. We extend our utmost gratitude to you all.
As of today:
- Diligence with universal masking and face shields continues.
- Droplet contact precautions in addition to N95 or half-mask respirator required for any patients suspect or COVID positive, and for all aerosol-generating medical procedures, regardless of infection status.
- Staff can float to other units.
- Care Partner visits can resume.
- The importance of physical distancing in break rooms is reinforced.
- Enhanced cleaning will continue throughout the unit.
We understand the added stress that being in outbreak for extended periods of time places on our staff and patients. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
