The safety of his patients is Dr. Han-Oh Chung’s highest priority in his role as a Niagara Health critical care physician. And the safety of medical learners is also top of mind for Dr. Chung in his role as an Academic Lead.
The outbreak was declared after four patients and two healthcare workers tested positive for COVID-19. All of the cases are healthcare associated.
Staff are working very hard to prevent further spread of the virus.
We need the community’s help. The only way we can hope to be successful against this highly contagious virus is for everyone to do their part.

In addition to wearing a mask, we ask visitors to clean their hands often and practice physical distancing to keep everyone safe.
