MOST RECENT COVID CASE = January 6, 2022

We have 1 new case of COVID in a staff member who worked on E1 Hospital. This case is not related to the index (initial) case which means that the transmission didn’t occur from the index case. With record numbers of COVID cases in the community, we are not surprised that staff are contracting COVID, particularly the highly contagious omicron variant.

As long as the positive cases are only among staff, public health does not consider this an outbreak.

Please call your loved one’s primary contact for information or call nursing on E1 if you are the primary contact seeking specific information about your loved one.
