Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay, Ont., has freed up 55 beds to prepare for a potential increase in cases of COVID-19. On Monday, the hospital said it has been able to discharge many patients who do not require acute care to other facilities, such as long-term care or retirement residences.

The result has been 55 more available beds. If needed, the hospital is also able to open an additional 48 beds by May by repurposing several clinic spaces that are currently closed. “Should the demand exceed the in-hospital bed capacity, the hospital would implement plans (currently in development with community partners) to open an off-site care setting,” the hospital stated.
