Visiting at the  East Wing of the Huntsville District Memorial Hospital (HDMH) is suspended after a unit-specific COVID-19 outbreak was declared in collaboration with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit on Saturday.

The MAHC says testing of patients and staff is occurring as part of outbreak management protocols, and enhanced cleaning practices are underway to limit spread.

MAHC President & CEO Cheryl Harrison says “For safety, visiting restrictions are currently in place for East Wing at the Huntsville site and we appreciate the community’s patience at this time.”
