PRINCE GEORGE — UHNBC is implementing full COVID-19 safety measures in light of two declared outbreaks at two inpatient units.

Enhanced outbreak control measures are already in place on the Primary Care Medical, and Internal Medicine Units in response to two, unrelated outbreaks.

Effective immediately, only essential visitors will be allowed in any department or area of the hospital. Essential visits include those for compassionate care, including end-of-life, and visitors accompanying patients with physical care or mental well-being needs.

Additional UHNBC COVID-19 Safety Plan measures being implemented facility-wide, include (but are not limited to):

  • Access controls and facility entrance screening
  • Physical distancing, and occupancy limits – including in waiting rooms, meeting rooms, educational spaces, communal spaces and other common areas.
  • Masking protocols
