Campbellford Memorial Hospital has introduced temporary visitor restrictions on its Inpatient Unit in response to increased respiratory illness activity within the hospital and throughout the community.
Effective immediately and until further notice, visiting on the Inpatient Unit is limited to one visitor at a time per patient. Hospital officials say the measure is intended to reduce the risk of transmission and help protect patients, visitors, and staff during a period of heightened respiratory illness.
Visitors are also reminded that masking is required at all times while on the Inpatient Unit. Masks are available at hospital entrances and must be worn for the duration of each visit. Anyone experiencing respiratory symptoms or feeling unwell is being asked to postpone visiting until symptoms have fully resolved.
For families and loved ones who are unable to visit in person, virtual visiting options remain available. Hospital staff can assist patients and families with setting up virtual visits to help maintain connections while minimizing health risks.
Campbellford Memorial Hospital says it is continuing to monitor respiratory illness trends in collaboration with public health authorities and will adjust precautions as appropriate. The hospital is thanking patients, families, and the broader community for their cooperation and understanding as these temporary measures remain in place.
Hospital officials emphasize that these precautions are being taken to ensure a safe environment while continuing to provide essential care to patients across the region.
