COVID-19 Outbreak at Hyland Crest Long-Term Care halts admissions and visitors

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit has declared a COVID-19 outbreak at Minden’s Hyland Crest Long-Term Care on the upper level.

There are three confirmed resident cases associated with the outbreak and seven Hyland Crest residents have been isolated. Both levels of the home are now closed to any further admissions and general visitors.

The home says residents will not be permitted to leave unless it is for a medical appointment. They add volunteers continue to be restricted from entering the home, but essential caregivers are able to visit. The Haliburton Highlands Health Services will continue to maintain important infection prevention and control measures, including mandatory masking in all resident care areas, mandatory vaccination, regular surveillance testing, active screening before entry into all facilities, and enhanced cleaning at the home.

Officials say services in the Minden Hospital remain unaffected by this outbreak and community members in need of care should not hesitate to seek assistance.
