The last thing we want to do is overwhelm the hospital with this type of situation going on so we\u2019re hoping to get the assessment centres cleared, meaning that approval, and once that approval is granted we\u2019ll have them up and running, probably within 48 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again in terms of capacity, Shields said MAHC is working with the province and community partners to make sure that additional capacity is created if needed. \u201cAs you know, we don\u2019t have long-term care beds here, we have acute-care beds and we\u2019re looking at how we can make sure the number of beds that we have can be expanded within a safe area with all the required equipment to operate those beds safely.\u201d Shields would not venture on the number of beds that might be available if the virus spreads here but said, \u201cthat\u2019s an ever-changing number and we continue to monitor that every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also said it is expected that most of those who do acquire the virus will not have acute symptoms and can isolate at home. \u201cSo you\u2019re not going to come and get your test and then come into the hospital for 14 days, that\u2019s not going to happen. You\u2019re going to get tested\u2026 and then you can go isolate at home for 14 days if you require.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the eventuality that services\u2014like elective surgeries, for example\u2014may have to be rationalized as a result of a large influx of people requiring acute care as a result of the virus, Shields said, \u201cWe\u2019re just not at that point right now where we have to cancel any elective surgeries or limit any type of ambulatory care program, but that is on the table and we\u2019ll see what transpires in the community because we\u2019re going to need some kind of community infection to have ramifications like that on the hospital,\u201d said Shields, reiterating that monitoring is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Asked how MAHC is doing for supplies, Shields said so far the health organization is in a good position. \u201cThe Ministry of Health is working on the supply chain to make sure that all the impacted areas are prioritized to make sure that they can receive the materials that they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shields highlighted the importance of washing one\u2019s hands and ensuring that if you are sneezing or coughing that you do so in a Kleenex or into your arm so that you\u2019re not spreading your germs.

That's because I love this community. I love the wide open spaces, ancient rocks, lakes and forests. I also love the buzz of Huntsville's core and, well, the wi-fi. I'm a news and chocolate junkie. Respect integrity, talent, kindness, a good story and the taste of an organic tomatoe. I hope you like this site and don't be shy about pitching me a story.","url":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/author\/tamaradelavega\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
