NSHN Patients Coming with COVID-19 Symptoms Urged to Call Ahead
The North Shore Health Network (NSHN) is actively monitoring directives from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for COVID-19.
At this time, regular operations continue at all sites with increased screening protocols in place for patients, visitors and workers.
Patients coming to the Emergency Department with suspected symptoms of COVID-19 are asked to call ahead prior to coming to the facility.
As part of enhanced screening measures, NSHN has begun preparations to establish COVID-19 Assessment Clinics at our Blind River and Thessalon Sites. This includes the addition of trailers to the properties. Further work is required to get these clinics up and running and additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
If you are feeling unwell and not sure if you should be tested, call Telehealth Ontario (1-866-797-0000) or call Algoma Public Health (1-866-892-0172 ext. 5404).
If you need immediate medical attention, please call 911 and mention your travel history and symptoms.
