Two staff members and two patients at a psychiatric hospital in Toronto have tested positive for coronavirus.
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) confirmed the cases in a statement sent to Global News Monday.
“To protect staff and patient privacy, we do not share health or identifying information externally,” said Dr. Vicky Stergiopoulos, CAMH’s physician-in-chief.
“To keep staff and patients safe, we are working closely with Toronto Public Health and are following rigorous infection prevention control policies.”
On March 21, CAMH implemented a policy allowing only essential visitors in the facility as a result of the pandemic.
Meanwhile, there were 591 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Toronto as of 1 p.m. on Monday.
Sixty-seven patients are in hospital, with 30 in intensive care.
Public health officials say 24 per cent of confirmed cases in the city can be attributed to community spread.
