Restrictions Lifted At Bluewater Health

Visitor restrictions at Bluewater Health's Sarnia and Petrolia hospitals have ended.

Visiting hours were reduced earlier this month in an effort to keep the flu from spreading.

“We would like to thank the healthcare team involved in managing care during the visitor restrictions,” says Laurie Zimmer, VP Operations. “We are also grateful for the community’s patience and support in helping to keep our patients safe from seasonal illness.”

Those coming to the hospitals are asked to continue to use hand sanitizer when entering and leaving the facility and not visit loved ones if you are ill.
