NHH continues to see a need for assessment and testing in the community, and we have been working hard to meet that need. NHH’s COVID-19 Assessment Centre opened in the hospital’s Ambulatory Care Clinic space on Saturday, March 14. Staffed by area physicians and hospital staff, the Assessment Centre team has assessed more than 462 individuals to date, including 206 virtual/phone assessments. Of those assessed, 66% have been swabbed. The Centre remains open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM. A new community assessment and testing service is also coming soon through Northumberland Paramedics’ management team. Please help our Assessment teams help those who need us most. Not everyone needs to go to an assessment centre for testing. Help us conserve our laboratory and swabbing capacity. Self-assess before coming in with the online tool on Ontario’s COVID-19 website. Positive cases in our region are reported through the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge DistrictHealth Unit website at: https://www.hkpr.on.ca/covid-19-2/covid-19/.
