A fourth staff member at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, but the case is believed to be community transmission, the hospital announced on Monday morning.
In a teleconference, Dr. Lynn Mikula, PRHC chief medical executive and chief of staff, said a fourth staff member tested positive on the weekend for the virus.
Mikula only announced the new case after Global News Peterborough inquired about weekend testing. She did not reveal in which unit the employee works but said the employee is at home in self-isolation and noted that staff and patients in the unit are being tested.
