I am planning on travelling or have recently returned from travelling and I am wondering if I am at risk of contracting COVID-19. What do I do?

For any questions related to travel, please visit the Eastern Ontario Unit’s website.

You can also use the online self-assessment tool to help you decide if you need a test.

How is CCH prepared to handle the COVID-19 virus?
We are committed to providing exceptional care no matter the circumstances. Our preparedness for COVID-19 cases in our community includes:
  • Patient screening process according to the Public Health Agency of Canada;
  • Doctor and staff training on the use of Personal Protective Equipment;
  • Daily communication with our provincial and local partners for most recent updates.

Is it safe for me to visit CCH?
During the pandemic, visitor access levels will change to reflect current appropriate restrictions and balance the need for in-person visitation with the need for safety and to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission. Special visitation access is available for compassionate and palliative reasons and for Obstetrics/Pediatrics. If you are feeling unwell, please refrain from coming to the hospital to visit. Seniors, pregnant women, or those who are immunocompromised should speak with their doctor before visiting a patient at CCH. Please refer to our Visiting Hours page for more information.

I have a test or procedure coming up at the hospital. Is everything going on as scheduled?
You will receive a call if your procedure has been postponed or rescheduled.

I heard that volunteer services at CCH are currently being impacted by COVID-19. Is this true?
Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to suspend volunteer services at the hospital for the time being. We recognize that most of our valued volunteers are seniors and are at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. We acknowledge that there may be times when the presence of Spiritual Care volunteers is required, and these cases will be assessed individually.

I need to go to the emergency department. Do I need to wear any protective gear?
YES. You will be asked to wear a mask. If you do not have a medical-grade mask, one will be provided for you at CCH. Public health guidelines also currently recommend wearing safety glasses. Due to a limited supply for staff, CCH is unable to provide safety glasses at this time, but we encourage that you bring some to wear.

I was recently in close contact with a person ill with COVID-19. Should I go to CCH?
If you have had close contact with a person ill with COVID-19, please do not come to CCH but instead self-isolate and contact Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000. They will provide you with further instructions.
