Health Sciences North confirmed Monday that one seriously ill Southern Ontario COVID-19 patient is being transferred to Sudbury. More COVID-19 patients are expected and Sudbury patients, who are not seriously sick, might be sent to other hospitals across Northern Ontario for the time being. Giroux said that so far, the transfers of critical care patients from the south have all been COVID-19 patients. Thirty of our 41 critical care beds have patients receiving care. “There may be a time the province will order a ramp down of all clinical services in Northern Ontario hospitals, as was done recently in Southern Ontario hospitals.
