COVID-19 outbreak declared at mother and baby unit in Regina General Hospital

Restrictions are in place at Regina General Hospital following an outbreak of COVID-19 in the mother and baby unit.

As a result, the hospital is limiting support to one person per birth mother, said a Regina childbirth service.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority declared the outbreak on March 4.

It's unknown how many cases are linked to the unit, but outbreaks are declared when two or more people test positive for the virus.
