A COVID-19 outbreak has been declared on Unit 2 (Medical/Surgical Unit) of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. As a result, no visitors will be permitted on the unit until the outbreak is declared over. For the time being, each patient may have one designated Partner in Care, which is reduced from three.
The unit will be closed to new admissions, except in rare cases where an admission is required and it is safe to do so, such as COVID positive patients or recently recovered COVID patients.
Patients who would normally be admitted to the unit will be cared for in available beds elsewhere within the Health PEI system.
