MAHC is advising that the COVID-19 outbreak in the South Wing of Huntsville Hospital is over

From MAHC

Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC), in consultation with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit, has confirmed the COVID-19 outbreak on South Wing at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital (HDMH) Site has ended.

The outbreak lasted eight days, and through outbreak management protocols including testing, nine cases were attributed to the outbreak. The outbreak status has been lifted following no new cases in the last eight days.

South Wing at HDMH has reopened to visitors, in line with MAHC’s current visiting policy that allows an inpatient to have two visitors per day between 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

We extend our appreciation to the Nursing team together with Environmental Services for their hard work and diligence to limit transmission beyond the initial cases and minimize the outbreak over the holidays.

There are no outbreaks at any of MAHC’s facilities.
