Trent University in Peterborough will provide temporary housing options for healthcare workers at the city’s hospital during the coronavirus pandemic.
On Sunday, the university announced it is making the Gzowski College residence on the east bank of the Symons campus available for workers at Peterborough Regional Health Centre.
Hospital officials approached the university last week about the possibility of using residences to temporarily house hospital staff who choose to self-isolate from their families as they provide care for patients.
As of Friday, Peterborough Public Health reported 13 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Peterborough, two of which were hospitalized.
