Rainycrest

Another respiratory outbreak has been declared at Rainycrest Long Term Care in Fort Frances.

Riverside Health Care says the outbreak impacts the home’s West Wing.

Visitor restrictions and masking protocols are in place.

Only two (2) visitors or caregivers may visit at a time, with visits only permitted in the resident’s room.

All visitors are also required to wear a medical mask and may be required to wear additional personal protective equipment if required by staff.

Riverside urges all visitors to self-screen before entering and stay away if experiencing flu-like symptoms.

Riverside says the measures do not impact plans for other residents to hand out treats in the home’s main lobby.

That event takes place tonight from 3 to 7 p.m.
