Georgian Bay General Hospital reporting 19 cases of COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak at Midland’s Georgian Bay General Hospital now includes 19 positive cases.

On Dec. 8, hospital officials announced an additional three staff members and one patient had tested positive for the virus, bringing the total at GBGH to 16 staff members and three patients.

Hospital staff, in consultation with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit, have been conducting extensive contact tracing. If someone received care at GBGH between Nov. 23 and Dec. 4 and were in contact with a patient or staff member who has tested positive for COVID-19, their names have been identified through contact tracing and they’ve been contacted.

GBGH continues to test staff to identify any positive cases. All inpatients have been tested and all new patient admissions to the hospital are being tested.

“Over the past four days, the hospital has tested more than 520 credentialed staff,” said Dr. Dan Lee, COVID medical lead and chief of Emergency Medicine at GBGH. “As more testing tends to net more positive results, we do expect the potential to see an increase in positives, similar to when testing increases in the community and more positive cases are detected.”

The Midland COVID-19 Assessment Centre has also seen an increase in positive cases, with four new confirmed community cases reported on Dec. 7 and another four reported on Dec. 8. These eight cases are not related to the outbreak at GBGH. 

Anyone in the community experiencing symptoms should seek COVID-19 testing at the Midland COVID-19 Assessment Centre, located in the GBGH parking lot, by or by calling .

SIU drops case of woman arrested by OPP at Elmvale Zoo

Ontario’s police watchdog has closed an investigation because it could not prove there were any serious injuries to a 24-year-old woman when she was arrested at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre on July 25.

“The medical records do not establish that the woman suffered any serious injury within the SIU’s mandate,” Special Investigations Unit (SIU) director Joseph Martino said a media release. “Regrettably, while the SIU made repeated efforts to secure further medical records from the woman regarding additional assessment in the days after the incident, she has not provided those releases.”

The woman was initially arrested at the Elmvale Jungle Zoo in Phelpston for an alleged assault.

OPP officers took her the Barrie hospital for a mental-health assessment after she made comments suggesting suicide.

At the hospital, the woman allegedly became violent toward the officers and was arrested and charged again.
