COVID-19 Outbreak Information (as of November 25): Toronto Public Health, with SHN’s Infection Prevention and Control team, have determined that SHN is meeting the outbreak definition of two healthcare-associated cases of COVID-19 within 14 days. The outbreaks are on 5 units: 4E, CP4, 3C, 4C, and Tower 7 SHN’s General hospital. As the outbreaks evolve, we expect the number of cases will as well. For the protection of our patients and health care teams, these units are closed to admissions. Enhanced infection prevention and control measures are in place and we continue to monitor the situation closely.
Our hospitals are a safe place. We thank our health care teams for their dedication to exceptional, compassionate care, within this unit and across our health network.
