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 a suspect COVID-19 Outbreak on Unit 4-5 at our Queen Street site. One patient has a positive diagnosis. We are also reporting three resolved patient diagnoses associated with our outbreak on Unit 2-5. Finally, we are reporting one positive staff diagnosis and five resolved staff diagnoses.
As of today, CAMH has one patient 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.
