Visitors now allowed at some Grey Bruce hospitals

Grey Bruce Health Services has updated its Family Presence policy, allowing for some visitors to enter 6 local hospitals.

Visitors had been restricted at all GBHS hospitals except in special circumstances since mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, patients can have one person visit.

Visiting times in GBHS Owen Sound, Meaford, Wiarton, Lion’s Head and Southampton Hospitals are daily from 3-5 pm, and in GBHS Mardkale Hospital, from 11-4 pm daily.

Visitors must call the Nursing Station prior to planning a visit as schedules may change.

Everyone coming into hospital must wear a mask or face covering, and practice physical distancing.

Further information on safety precautions and Family Presence can be found here.
