A new series of measures from Kingston Health Sciences Centre is being put in place at area hospitals as health officials work to slow down the spread of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19.
People entering local hospitals will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms and questioned about their travel history, he adds. Visits to patients in area hospitals have been curtailed, according to Pichora. “We’re also limiting the number of visitors per patient to one family member, so it’s very important that the one family member who comes is healthy and will pass screening,” he said.
To date, there have been no cases of COVID-19 in Kingston, but Pichora says that is most likely to change. “We’re anticipating community spread eventually,” he said.
