Ontario reports 1,265 new coronavirus cases, 33 more deaths “This outbreak is a little unusual in that it is linked to a room during a very short period of time (i.e., the event),” explained Stephan Beckhoff, who is the communications manager for the hospital.“Someone with COVID (community acquired) was admitted to the unit.
Another patient in that room acquired it and one staff. Both patients have since been discharged or transferred since Jan. 25.”Beckhoff said the staff member later became syptomatic and was tested for the virus with the case being linked back to the room.“It is being declared today, even through it is 14 days and no other infections have been noted since then,” he said on Monday.[ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter.
