The weather is changing and the landscape of respiratory viruses across the province is also changing. This fall will be a more complex respiratory illness season with multiple respiratory viruses circulating alongside COVID-19. Influenza A cases have been reported in Ontario Region. In addition, respiratory syncytial virus activity (RSV) is circulating in Canada above expected levels impacting the pediatric population. Furthermore, COVID-19 activity continues in the province, and we expect to see ongoing COVID-19 activity this fall with the continued presence of highly transmissible Omicron variants. An increase in activity of multiple respiratory viruses creates a more complex respiratory illness season and has the potential to further stretch the health system.

If you need urgent medical care and you go the Health Centre, and find that there is the note on the window indicating that the Guard is on a break/lunch, then you should call the emergency response line 1-888-310-1122. The dispatcher will, in turn, then contact any/all local personnel needed in KZA (including the nurses) to address your emergency and potential need for URGENT care.
Nurses are contracted to respond after hours to only URGENT EMERGENCY cases routed through the proper response methods.
Residents and visitors are reminded that the KZA- GBFN Health Centre is NOT a 24 hour/day ISC – Health Canada program service centre.
