The COVID-19 outbreak in the Specialized Seniors Care Unit at RVH has ended.
As a result, the unit is once again open to transfers and new admissions, but due to the ongoing community spread and the presence of the variant, RVH continues to restrict visitors across all units in the health centre.
RVH continues to have one unit within the facility on outbreak – the Cancer and Palliative Unit .
All patients will once again be swab tested, are safely isolating in their rooms and are being monitored closely for symptoms. RVH continues with its Outbreak Management Protocol which includes enhanced cleaning, surveillance, education and frequent communication to patients.
