By Aaron Humes: The Ministry of Health and Wellness has informed that all staff of the San Ignacio Community Hospital diagnosed recently with COVID-19 are medically cleared, and it continues to offer modified service there and at surrounding clinics.

The ministry’s surveillance and administrative teams continue to enhance all public health measures to ensure that the workplace is safe and also that the community feels safe when accessing services at that hospital.

The San Ignacio Community Hospital offers 24/7 access to its Accident and Emergency Unit; daily outpatient service between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.; weekday maternal and child health services and round-the-clock access for labour and delivery.

The delivery of services at the Santa Elena Clinic has been fully restored. The San Antonio and Bullet Tree health centers will reopen by phases as the monitoring of daily COVID-19 numbers in these communities continues. The laboratory, pharmacy, and X-ray services are still available as needed in these communities.

The Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to advise that everyone accessing services at any public health facilities must follow all public health measures, which include, but are not limited, to the proper use of face masks, physical distancing, and proper hand hygiene.
