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 two staff positive diagnoses and two staff resolved diagnoses. As of today, CAMH has three patients and 14 staff members with positive COVID-19 diagnoses.
We are also pleased to announce that the COVID-19 outbreak on GPUA/ACU at the College Street site has been declared over by Toronto Public Health and the CAMH Infection Prevention and Control Department.
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.
