Outbreak declared over at the Wilson Memorial General Hospital
The MFHT and NOSH are also pleased to announce that, as of 7:00pm April 13th, the facility-wide outbreak at the Wilson Memorial General Hospital is officially declared over.
NOSH is extremely grateful to the physicians, healthcare workers and staff who worked tirelessly to manage the outbreak and to continue to provide quality, compassionate care to our patients. We would also like to thank our patients and their caregivers for their support, trust and patience as we navigated through the outbreak.
To everyone in the community who has sent us well wishes and messages of support over the last few weeks, thank you! Your support helped the NOSH staff and patients stay positive throughout these challenging times.
Last but not least, we would like to recognize the Thunder Bay District Health Unit for their guidance and assistance over the last few weeks.
“While today we celebrate the incredible efforts of our staff and physicians, support from our community and the resiliency of our patients, we should also pause and remember the loss of three of our community members to COVID”, says Adam Brown, NOSH CEO.
COVID-19 related deaths in Marathon
It is with great sadness that the Marathon Family Health Team (MFHT) and the North or Superior Healthcare Group (NOSH) are reporting a third COVID-19-related death in Marathon. Out of respect in this difficult time, no further details will be provided.
The MFHT and NOSH offers our deepest condolences to the family and friends of both individuals. “This is a very sad day for all of us at NOSH and especially for the loved ones of the individual who passed away. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this loss”, says Adam Brown, NOSH CEO. “Our hospital continues to take strong measures to protect our patients, our healthcare workers and our communities. Please continue to be safe and kind to each other as we get through this”.
We recognize that this news is difficult for all to hear. The loss of a community member is hard, especially under these circumstances. The MFHT and NOSH encourage our patients and community members to check-in, reach out and support one another, while following public health advice, as they live through this loss.
This unfortunately highlights the reality of COVID-19 and the need for everyone to take this virus seriously. Recognizing that many are at higher risk of serious illness or death from the virus, we urge everyone to continue doing everything they can to prevent its spread, including staying home as much as possible, limiting close contact with others, avoiding travel outside of our communities and following other safety measures.
We are in this together.
Contact tracing and self-isolation
All patients who have tested positive for the virus have been contacted by the Thunder Bay District Health Unit (TBDHU) and are self-isolating at home to prevent further spread of the virus.
The TBDHU is completing very thorough contact tracing and will contact those who are considered high risk contacts of the individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19. At this time, anyone who is not specifically contacted by public health, would be considered at low risk. If you are deemed a high risk contact and require testing, the public health liaison that you speak with will help you to figure out what day is the best day for you to be tested to get the most accurate results.
To help with the contact tracing process, consider downloading the COVID Alert app.
