INGERSOLL - A total of 9 patients have now tested positive during a COVID-19 outbreak at the Alexandra Hospital Ingersoll.
The outbreak is on the in-patient unit and was declared on Monday after 4 patients tested positive. All patients and families have been notified of the outbreak.
Earlier this week, the hospital announced several enhanced safety measures to combat the outbreak. Today they announced additional measures:
- No new patients will be admitted to AHI at this time. Patients requiring admission to hospital will be sent to neighboring hospitals. The Emergency Department remains open.
- Surveillance COVID testing of all inpatients.
