An Influenza A outbreak has been declared at the Stratford General Hospital on the Medicine Unit.
The outbreak was declared after two or more confirmed Influenza A cases among patients could have possibly been acquired in the hospital.
The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance is working alongside Huron Perth Public Health to manage the outbreak.
Family and caregiver presence on the unit has been modified with patients allowed to have one family caregiver or visitor per day with no in and out privileges with visitors required to wear a mask and might need extra PPE such as eye protection, gown and gloves.
