That includes people coming to:

  • Visits for compassionate care: including critical illness, palliative care, hospice care, end-of-life and medical assistance in dying;
  • Visits to patients in the emergency department or intensive care unit;
  • Visits for pediatric care, labour and delivery;
  • Visits necessary to support a patient’s physical care (e.g., assistance with feeding or mobility), mental well-being, or decision-making.

“These temporary visitor restrictions are in place as a precautionary measure due to current COVID-19 outbreak activity at the hospital,” explained a release from RIH.

All services continue to be available at RIH and the hospital remains safe to visit for anyone needing emergency care.
