Just days after a COVID outbreak was cleared at Chatham-Kent’s municipally-run long term care home, another has been declared.
Public Health officials are keeping tabs on an outbreak on unit 5 East at Riverview Gardens. Family members of anyone who has tested positive for the virus have been notified and for the time being, general visitors will not be allowed in the affected unit and caregivers will be limited to one at a time with full PPE, including surgical masks, eye protection, gowns, and gloves.
Most recently, 59 linked cases were reported in units 6 East and West between August 8th and the 31st.
