Visitor restrictions removed for Herb Bassett Home

Feb 14, 2011 | 10:23 AM

The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region has lifted the visitor restrictions at the Herb Bassett Home’s Golden Hill unit following an outbreak of a gastrointestinal illness earlier this month.

Visiting will continue to be limited for the pediatric unit at Victoria Hospital, as there continues to be patients in that unit showing symptoms of a gastrointestinal illness.

The provincial laboratory confirmed that samples from the two locations came back positive for norovirus.

The region is isolating the individuals who are showing symptoms.
