Neepawa Health Centre moves to critical red level 13 patients and two staff confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 virus
By Eoin Devereux
Neepawa Banner & Press
A COVID-19 outbreak ha s been decla red at Neepawa Health Cent re i n Neepawa. T he announcement was made in the Province’s COVID-19 media bulletin on Monday, Nov. 8 and has seen the facility moved to the critical or red level on the Pandemic Response System. Pra ir ie Mounta in Health conf irmed to the Banner & Press on Tuesday, Nov. 9 that there are 13 patients and two staff members who have tested p o s it i v e a t N e e p aw a Health Centre. All staff have been asked to closely monitor for symptoms and to stay home if ill. As for the positive patients, they have all been moved to an isolated wing. There were three other locations in Manitoba announced with declared outbreaks the same day as Neepawa. Those locations were: • Third Crossing Manor
Personal Care Home in Gladstone; • Health Sciences Centre GD4 medical unit in Winnipeg; and • Russell Health Centre in Russell.
A sign placed upon the sliding entrance doors of the Neepawa Health Centre indicates to the public that they will not be permitted inside the facilit y. Due to a shift to critical level, connec ted to COVID-19, only emergency care cases will be allowed inside the building.
What does this mean for the Health Centre? Due to the confirmed cases within the Neepawa Health Centre, as of Saturday, Nov. 6, it has been closed to all visitors and non-emergency cases. Emergency care cases, however, will still be accepted, as the hospital does have protocols in place to assist and protect nonCOVID-19 patients. The Health Centre will also see a temporary pause in non-emergent surgeries and maternity care. The reason this has been done is to assure there is available space and staff in place to treat COVID-19 patients and minimize any potential spread of the virus. Continued on Page 18
