CALGARY (CityNews) — An outbreak has been declared at Calgary’s Foothills Medical Centre.

Alberta Health Services says that a small number of patients, along with two members of staff within one unit at the hospital, have tested positive for COVID-19.

Visitors to the unit are being restricted to end of life situations until further notice.

Testing is being offered to all patients within the affected unit, and outbreak control measures have been implemented.

Healthcare workers are responsible for self-assessing any symptoms before reporting to work, while patients who test positive for the virus are treated and isolated in designated rooms.

In a statement, AHS asserts that the hospital remains safe to visit and that there is no increased risk to visitors or patients at the hospital.
