MIDLAND, Ont. — A hospital in Midland, Ont., has postponed all scheduled non-urgent and elective surgeries as it deals with a COVID-19 outbreak that has expanded to all inpatient units.
The Georgian Bay General Hospital says its intensive care unit is included in the areas affected by the outbreak.
It says there are two inpatient cases and 13 staff cases linked to the outbreak so far.
The outbreak was initially declared at one unit last Friday.
The hospital says it tested all patients in three inpatient units and the ICU, and is awaiting results for some.
Its COVID-19 medical lead, Dr. Dan Lee, says the majority of transmissions appear to be between staff members.
