Starting Monday, March 14, we are increasing our visitor guidelines to welcome two visitors at the bedside for inpatient units, including Labour and Delivery and NICU. At this time, there is no change for outpatient, Emergency Department (ED) and Urgent Care Centres (UCC) where patients can continue to bring one person to support them.
Patients may have one visitor at their bedside from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors, Support Persons and Essential Care Partners play an integral role in the care and well-being of our patients. With the reduction of COVID cases in the hospital and in the community, we are able to begin gradually opening up visitor restrictions.
To build healthy communities, we must have a strong health system – one that enables each component (of the health system in Niagara) to function to its fullest capacity, one that is organized to give people access to quality care by the right health professionals, in the right place, at the right time.
The Fort Erie Urgent Care Centre will fully reopen to provide 24/7 service beginning Wednesday, February 23, 2022 at 8 a.m.

Despite extraordinary measures to create additional capacity for critical care services, pressures on the Hamilton-Niagara-Haldimand-Brant-Burlington (HNHBB) region’s critical care capacity have worsened over the last week.
Niagara Health opened a COVID-19 Clinic this week at the St. Catharines Site that is accessible by referral only for patients with mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19, or who are suspected of having or are confirmed with COVID-19.
The Niagara Health COVID-19 Assessment Centres at the St. Catharines Site and the Niagara Falls Site are closed today (Monday, Jan. 17, 2022) due to inclement weather.
Given the COVID-19 activity in the hospital and in the community, it is important that we maintain a safe environment for staff, physicians, patients and families.

Beginning today, Niagara Health’s outbreak activity will be reported on our COVID-19 activity section of our website. Two new outbreaks were declared over the weekend
