The Kelsey Trail Health Region is lifting visitor restrictions at the Pineview Lodge long-term care facility in Nipawin.
Residents first showed signs of respiratory illness-related symptoms on Sept. 20. Testing confirmed the symptoms were caused by Enterovirus and Rhinovirus. An outbreak was declared on Sept 22.
“Visitors to Pineview Lodge and all health region facilities are being asked to stay away from health care facilities when they are showing signs of respiratory illness,” said Dr. Mohammad Khan, the health region’s medical health officer.
The health region is asking visitors to continue to use hand sanitizer when entering and exiting the building or even wearing a mask.
