In preparing for a potential uptick in patients visiting the emergency department at the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility has implemented procedural changes prior to admitting an individual to the department. However, CEO and president Robert Biron stresses the department remains open for those needing medical attention.
