We received confirmation of a positive case the evening of Thursday, March 12, following testing of a patient at our St. Catharines Site.
The patient was brought to the St. Catharines Emergency Department by ambulance on Tuesday, March 10. The patient is currently in an isolation room in an inpatient unit undergoing treatment by our infectious diseases team to manage their symptoms and is in stable condition.
