Effective immediately, our Hospital has moved its Internal Pandemic Responsive Level from Yellow (Protect) to Green (Recover and Prevent). This is a result of the low number of COVID-19 positive cases in Thunder Bay and across Northwestern Ontario, and the rising vaccination numbers in our community.

Please note that moving to Response Level Green does allow us to reduce restrictions on learners, volunteers as well as our external partners. In particular, all contractors and vendors who provide technical support, suppliers, and sales people will be allowed on site by invitation only.

Despite the move to Green, we must continue to be cautious with our COVID-19 pandemic response. The safety of patients, staff and the community remains our utmost priority. With variants of concern circulating throughout the province, there is the possibility that the situation can change quickly. Entrance screening, physical distancing, and PPE guidelines will remain in place for everyone entering our Hospital.

We appreciate your cooperation.
