THUNDER BAY – A COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Hogarth Riverview Manor- Birch/Spruce Grove Resident Home Area.
According to the Thunder Bay District Health Unit in a release issued on Friday, a single staff member was recently confirmed to have contracted COVID-19, and under provincial health measures, that’s enough to declare an outbreak at the facility, a long-term care residence.
A thorough assessment of the situation is underway by the health unit, in collaboration with St. Joseph’s Care Group, which includes enhanced surveillance and testing activities on site.
Further measures will be taken if necessary.
