CMH says it is suspected that some foul air travelled into the site through an open window which was mistaken for a gas leak.

The hospital asked anyone who had booked at COVID-19 test to head to the Grand River Hospital’s drive-thru testing centre, which is located in downtown Kitchener at 15 Charles St. W.
