An outbreak of the novel coronavirus at an inpatient unit at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) has been declared over, the hospital announced Wednesday morning.
On April 9, the hospital announced that three staff members working in an unidentified inpatient unit had tested positive. It’s believed the initial case was the result of community transmission.
All three remain at home in self-isolation with “mild symptoms” and will return to work once they have twice tested negative for the coronavirus, the hospital said. “All PRHC health-care workers continue to use appropriate infection prevention and control measures to prevent the spread of illness in the hospital environment, including frequent hand-cleaning, wearing surgical masks
