Essential visits only at Northern Health facilities.
That means those who are healthy may visit with people who are critically ill, receiving end-of-life care or frail and need an escort or family member for their safety.
This is the next step in making sure everyone is safe, including residents, patients and staff as Northern Health works in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the BC Centre for Disease Control.
Those considered essential visitors must pass screening which includes no cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat or shortness of breath and people who have not traveled outside of Canada in the last 14 days.
The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control is the recommended resource for provincial information that is accurate and current. For more information visit http://www.bccdc.ca/.
