GBGH declares C difficile outbreak

BARRIE A C. difficile outbreak has been declared at Georgian Bay General Hospital. The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit declared the outbreak following three hospital cases in the last seven days. To reduce transmission, patients related to the outbreak have been moved to private rooms as the areas with the bacterial spores are cleaned. GBGH says it is looking into possible factors which may have contributed to the outbreak. “There are many factors which can contribute to C. difficile infections,” says Angie Saini, vice president of Clinical Services and chief nursing executive, GBGH. “Most commonly, patients who have a history of C. difficile or who have been taking certain antibiotics for prolonged periods tend to be more susceptible. We have been proactive in identifying and testing the affected patients as soon as they presented with symptoms, ” she added.

Lake of Bays Mayor wants to focus on keeping businesses on their feet

SHARE ON: (Terry Glover Provided Photo)  As much as it was frustrating and upsetting that Simcoe Muskoka went into another lockdown not long ago, Lake of Bays Mayor, Terry Glover, along with other council members, wanted to find a way for their businesses to survive. “We came up with the idea that we should pass a resolution at council that looks at the colour coding of different businesses with regards to the restrictions put in place by the province,” said Glover. “Basically what it speaks to is square footage of restaurants and businesses to allow better access. We thought, if a business or restaurant has availability for way more than 10, then they should be allowed a bigger proportion of sales based on their square footage. You got a tiny little place; I understand where they’re putting a restriction of 10. However, I’ve got a number of large restaurants in Lake of Bays where they could easily safely deal with say 20 or so.”
