A healthcare worker at the Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday.
All contacts who have been identified are quarantining and undergoing testing. So far, no close contacts among patients served by Labrador-Grenfell Health have been identified.
Out of an abundance of caution, Labrador-Grenfell Health is opening up a drive-through testing site for St. Anthony and the surrounding area today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Appointments will not be required.
Labrador-Grenfell Health says they are monitoring staff resources and working with those staff to ensure the delivery of safe patient care. However, the delivery of those services may change as a result of the situation.
Outpatient Laboratory collection will be suspended today and reevaluated daily.
The clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting today at Apt 209, 178-200 West Street—which is at the back of the old hospital.
