COVID-19

In the interest of keeping out vulnerable patients and staff safe, DRHC has implemented changes at our Hospital to ensure that the community has access to safe, compassionate care.

Active Screening:

All patients, visitors, staff, volunteers, contractors or any other individuals entering the facilities must be actively screened for COVID-19 before proceeding into the building. This may include questions about any symptoms you are experiencing, if you have been exposed to COVID-19, or if you have recently tested positive to COVID-19.

Everyone entering the facilities must also wash their hands using the provided hand sanitizer before proceeding past the screening area.

Patients will never be denied essential care based on failing the entrance screen. If you fail the screen, you may be asked to reschedule any non-urgent appointments.

COVID-19 Vaccination Policy:

All staff, physicians, volunteers, and contractors entering DRHC must be fully vaccinated (at least 14 days past their second dose of a Health Canada approved COVID-19 vaccine) following our COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.

Patients will never be denied care at DRHC based on their vaccination status.
