Halton Healthcare has a #COVID19 strategy at all three of its hospitals. It looks at Visiting policies, enhanced screening, and assessment centres.
Visiting hours will remain the same. The visitors will be limited to 1 at a time, and the hospitals recommend that nobody under the age of 16 visit except under “special circumstances”. Special circumstances are defined as involving trauma, end-of-life, or a major surgical procedure.
Hospitals are also implementing enhanced screening procedures. Patients are taken into isolation rooms until diagnosis if they are determined to be high-risk for the virus. Halton Healthcare thanks you for your patience.
Assessment Centres are being operated by appointment only in all three communities (Oakville, Milton, and Georgetown. Walk-in appointments are not available. Halton Healthcare recommends booking only if you have travelled outside Canada, and have experienced symptoms including fever, onset of cough, and trouble breathing. To book call: 905-203-7963.
