Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in the Meadow Lake Area, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is restricting visitation at the hospital and Northland Pioneer Lodge.
In a release on Thursday, the SHA urged Saskatchewan residents to follow public health measures and personal safety precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. To keep individuals in SHA facilities and care homes safe during this time, family presence/visitation is being limited to family presence level 3 only in those locations.
Level 3 family presence restrictions, which include during outbreaks, are for end-of-life, with the provision that care teams can support just one essential family/support person safely assisting with care if needed (i.e. for self-care, mobility, nutrition and behavioural needs). This must be approved by the care team and includes outbreak situations.
No other visitors are allowed into the specified facilities or homes at this time until it is safe to return to the previous level. Family members and support people who are permitted must undergo a health screening prior to entering the facility or home, including a temperature check and questionnaire, as well as following other safety procedures.
