Visitors and patients, excluding those seeking care in the Emergency Department, will still need to self-screen prior to entering the hospital and are asked not to attend if they are feeling unwell or experiencing any COVID-19 like symptoms.

Universal masking will still be required in all areas of the hospital, and surgical grade masks will be available upon entry.  Cloth masks are not sufficient. 

While proof of COVID-19 vaccination will no longer be required for visitors, it is still strongly encouraged.

Patients and visitors can enter the hospital through the accessible entrance beside the emergency department, or through the main entrance, which has been closed to the public throughout the pandemic, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday to Friday.  Access to the hospital outside of these hours, including on weekends and holidays, must be made through the Emergency Department.
