These are extraordinary times and CAMH is committed to transparency and communication with the community that we serve. As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, CAMH will update the public when there are changes to report.
Today we are reporting one patient resolved diagnosis from our outbreak on Unit 1-4/5. We are also reporting a change to our accounting of resolved patient diagnoses. On Monday we reported that we had six resolved patient diagnoses from Unit 1-4/5 and two from Unit 2-3. In fact, we had three resolved patient diagnoses from Unit 1-4/5, four from Unit 2-3 and one unrelated to an outbreak.
As of today, CAMH has 15 patients and 10 staff members with positive COVID-19 diagnoses.
We remain vigilant about policies and procedures to keep staff and patients safe and we continue to work with our partners at Toronto Public Health on reporting, surveillance and infection control. Our staff monitors and follows the Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) recommendations from public health as they are updated, including about screening, testing and use of personal protective equipment.
We thank our staff and physicians for their continued work to care for our patients during these challenging times.
