The hospital says five patients have tested positive in the 2 South Medical/Surgical Unit.
TILLSONBURG - Five patients have tested positive for COVID-19 at Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital.
They're all located in the 2 South Medical/Surgical Unit and a COVID-19 outbreak has been declared as a result.
Hospital officials have already reached out to all of the patient's friends and family members and they're going to be keeping a close eye on the other patients within the unit.
The 2 South unit is now closed off to new patients and no visitors will be allowed unless they're deemed necessary for compassionate grounds. New patients being admitted to the hospital in general will have to take a COVID test.
Chief Operating Officer Mike Bastow says the protection of patients, staff, and physicians is their top priority.
"We want to reassure the public that our precautions, practices, and protocols to address COVID-19 within the hospital continue to be followed carefully. Our goal is to curb transmission within the hospital as well as protecting the health and safety of our community."
