Staff at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre (YRHC) have announced they have successfully contained the Influenza A outbreaks that were declared on the 1st Floor Medicine and 3rd Floor Inpatient Surgery wings.
Visitors are now allowed in these areas and restrictions are no longer in place. Residents can still help reduce the spread of illness in the community.
"Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not into hands. Wash hands often throughout the day. Stay home when you are sick. Protect yourself and others by getting an annual influenza vaccination when it is offered.
"Anyone still wishing to be vaccinated for influenza can contact their local Public Health Office to arrange immunization. The Yorkton Public Health Office will hold a walk-in influenza immunization clinic each Thursday between 3:30-4:30 p.m. throughout February.
