Durham's emergency department closed Sunday

The Durham Emergency Department will be closed for the rest of the weekend.

The South Bruce Grey Health Centre announced Sunday morning that the hospital's ED will remain closed until 7 a.m. on Monday.

The closure is due to a staffing shortage.

An ambulance by-pass is in effect. Anyone requiring immediate medical attention should call 911 to be taken to the nearest open Emergency Department.

Health Connect Ontario is available 24/7 for non-emergency healthcare needs by calling 811.
