The Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit is placing all of its sexual health clinics temporarily on hold as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the region.
According to a release sent Tuesday, the health unit is putting its Sexual Health clinics on hold for the time being so nurses and other staff can be redeployed to pandemic response.Â
Clients who had an appointment booked this month at a sexual health clinic in Haliburton County, Northumberland County, and the City of Kawartha Lakes are being contacted directly to make alternate arrangements.
The Health Unit encourages anyone with concerns relating to their sexual health to contact their primary care provider or attend a walk-in clinic.
