Northern Health says there remains no evidence of transmission of illness among staff and residents at Gateway, however a new single lab-confirmed case in a staff member has been identified on the Special Care Unit (East Wing).

“A precautionary outbreak has therefore been declared for this unit, and Northern Health Public Health is closely monitoring for additional cases.”

NH is taking steps to protect the health of staff and those they care for, with enhanced outbreak measures such as:

• Cleaning and infection control measures have been enhanced
• Increased symptom monitoring among all Gateway staff and residents
• Limiting movement between the affected wing, and the rest of the facility

The precautionary outbreak for Gateway’s Special Care Unit will be in place until at least December 16, 2020, which is 14 days after any potential exposure to confirmed cases at the facility.
