Another COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Windsor Regional Hospital. 

The hospital has declared an outbreak on its 8West unit at the Ouellette Campus. 

The outbreak was declared on Wednesday, with a total of three patients affected. 

If there are no other cases are identified, the outbreak will be rescinded on December 28. 

A revised masking policy was rolled out at all WRH campuses on October 10 for employees, professional staff, and volunteers. 

It was then updated earlier this month on December 7 where anyone visiting a patient in hospital must wear a mask while visiting in a patient's room.
