Three staff members who work in the unit that cares for premature babies have tested positive for COVID-19, according to Dr. David Russell, interim chief of staff at St. Joe's. A 2013 video produced by St. Joe's about the unit describes it as a "safe place" where a team of healthcare professionals make sure babies are cared for. The city says the unit will continue to take in infants born at St. Joe's who require care. The Hamilton Midwives is working with St. Joe's to make sure their clients are safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. St. Joe's also intends to have one-on-one sessions with parents to answer their questions.
