St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Guelph says all of its patients and residents have tested negative for the novel coronavirus after all 297 of them were swabbed during a testing blitz in April.
Officials announced the results on Friday after the blitz was initiated by St. Joseph’s between April 17 and April 20. “It is an immense relief,” said St.
Joseph’s president David Wormald. “We realize this is only a snapshot that provides information at a single point in time. We must remain vigilant and continue our exceptional infection prevention and control practices.” The facility said it has also received 75 per cent of the results for its staff.
