UPDATE: Wingham Hospital ED closure cancelled

A local hospital's emergency department is operating as usual after previously announcing a weather-related closure.

Winter weather was blamed for the Wingham and District Hospital Emergency Department's previous closure announcement overnight Friday into Saturday.

The Listowel Wingham Hospitals Alliance's Ainsley Morrison said shortly after 9 p.m. that staffing had been secured and the ED is open as usual.
