March 7, 2023 - The Thunder Bay District Health Unit (TBDHU) and St. Joseph’s Care Group, confirm that the gastrointestinal outbreak located at 35 Algoma St. N has been declared over. All restrictions have been lifted.

The Health Unit is urging people to stay at home and refrain from visiting hospitals and long-term care facilities when feeling unwell to avoid spreading infections to those most vulnerable: young infants and children, the elderly and those with other chronic illnesses.

The Health Unit reminds the public to prevent getting and spreading infections by:

• Washing hands often, for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water, or by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Staying at home if sick to avoid spreading infections to others.
