Erie Shores HealthCare is taking proactive steps to address the recent surge in  COVID-19 cases within our community and the rising instances of hospital outbreaks across the  province. To ensure the safety of our patients and dedicated staff members, we are implementing  a mandatory masking requirement within 2 meters of a patient, effective October 10, 2023.

This precautionary measure is crucial in mitigating the risk of COVID-19 transmission within our  healthcare facility and maintaining a secure environment for all. By complying with this mandate,  we can uphold our commitment to delivering exceptional care while minimizing the potential  spread of the virus.

Chief Nursing Executive Neelu Sehgal stated, “Our primary focus is on the well-being of our patients  and staff. This mandatory masking requirement is necessary to bolster our safety protocols, particularly as we approach COVID-19 and flu season. We appreciate our staff’s dedication and  unwavering commitment, and this measure reinforces our commitment to their health and safety.”

Erie Shores HealthCare thanks all staff members for their cooperation and unwavering commitment to patient care. These measures, although challenging, are essential to protect those  who rely on us for their well-being. By working together, we can make a significant impact in curbing the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of exceptional healthcare  services.

We thank our healthcare heroes for their dedication, flexibility, and tireless efforts to support our  patients and community. Let us continue to stand united in these challenging times.
