The Ford government is spending 116 million dollars province wide for a total of 766 new beds.
The CKHA share will be 1.8 million dollars to cover the cost for those 20 beds.
Nicholls says “this investment will reduce wait times and make sure we continue to get the best care possible for the people in our community.”
The move also a response to the surging cases of COVID-19 as there were 14 new cases in the municipality on Tuesday.
