COVID-19 (NOVEL CORONAVIRUS)
The safety and security of our Windsor-Essex community, our patients, and staff here at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare is our top priority. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 developments and continue to work together based on the most current direction from the provincial Medical Officer of Health and the Government of Canada.
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) continues to
assess the public health risk associated with COVID-19 as low for Canada and by
extension, also for Ontario and Windsor-Essex. The Public Health risk is
continually reassessed as new information becomes available. As such, standard
respiratory illness precautions are recommended.
Current # of in-patients in hospital with confirmed COVID-19 - less than 5
