PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – Visitor restrictions are in place at the Herb Bassett Home in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan following an outbreak of a gastrointestinal illness.
The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region (PAPHR) says three residents in the Golden Hill long-term care unit are showing symptoms and will be isolated.
No staff members appear to be ill at this time.
During the outbreak, PAPHR is asking that visitors reschedule; however if urgent, they can report to the nursing station for instruction on how to limit exposure and transmission.
Samples are being collected to identify the bug.
In April 2013, visitor restrictions were lifted at three units of Herb Basset Home after more than 20 residents and staff became infected by gastrointestinal illness.
