- Description
- Following the announcement of the first positive case of COVID-19 in Kawartha Lakes on March 14, the hospital introduced a temporary ‘drive-thru’ assessment
centre in its ambulance bay. On March 18 the hospital implemented a new assessment model in response to community feedback and guidelines from the Ministry of Health.
The updated COVID-19 Assessment Centre model had patients call first for a phone assessment by a nurse or physician, who will refer the caller for the appropriate next steps, which may include self-monitoring instructions, self-isolation instructions, testing at an offsite location at the Lindsay Exhibition ground, or seeking care in the hospital. - Publisher
