Peterborough Regional Health Centre says it’s preparing for a surge of patients due to the coronavirus pandemic. On Tuesday morning during a media conference call, Dr.
Lynn Mikula, the hospital’s vice-president, chief medical executive and chief of staff, said the hospital currently has three patients hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19.
There are also 24 other inpatients still waiting on test results after initially showing symptoms of COVID-19, she said. Mikula says staff are “working around the clock” but are also “waiting with bated breath” to see what the next week or two will bring with coronavirus cases.
