Second outbreak declared at Rainycrest Long Term Care
Visitor restrictions have been expanded at Rainycrest Long Term Care.
It is because of a new respiratory outbreak that is impacting the Fort Frances home’s East Wing.
A similar outbreak was declared last week in the West Wing, but Riverside Health Care says the symptoms are unrelated.
Residents in the affected wings are being permitted only two visitors or caregivers at any one time, with visits restricted to the resident’s room.
Enhanced masking remains in place within all resident care areas, including all visitors required to wear a medical mask.
They may also be asked to wear additional personal protective equipment if required.
Riverside is also urging visitors to self-screen before entering, and anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms is asked to refrain from visiting until they feel better.
Restrictions on admissions, transfers, discharges and large group social activities have also been cancelled until further notice.
