Surgeries that require hospitalization are on hold at the Maisonneuve-Rosemont and Santa Cabrini hospitals in Montreal due to coronavirus outbreaks at both facilities.

The CIUSSS de l’Est-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, the regional health authority for Montreal’s east end, announced on Wednesday that this decision was made for security reasons.

There are coronavirus outbreaks in both hospitals and a high number of patients requiring short-term hospitalization. The CIUSSS said the measure does not apply to urgent surgeries or those required by patients who are already hospitalized.

Day surgeries that do not require hospitalization and that are considered semi-urgent, as well as cancer surgeries, are also permitted.
