WHO has FINALLY removed Toronto (Canada) from the list of SARS-infected areas. And I'm all set to go out and enjoy this coming Victoria Day long weekend!
Sorry to hear that, but you are not talking about North York General or St. John's, are you? Or you might need to be quarantined:Originally posted by NameTower
... my whole family went to visit my great grandfather as he's very sick.
A North York General patient who subsequently came down with SARS symptoms was then transferred to St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital, where five others ââ¬â three patients, a 39-year-old health care worker and a 44-year-old visitor ââ¬â were apparently infected.
That's prompted Ontario's health ministry to ask anyone who visited North York General between May 13 and 23 to put themselves in isolation, monitor themselves for SARS symptoms and contact Toronto public health.
Anyone who was in the hospital between April 22 and May 13 is also being asked to monitor themselves for symptoms and contact Toronto public health.
Quarantine has already been ordered for anyone who visited St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital between May 9 and 20. Anyone affected by the quarantine has been asked to contact Toronto public health.
