Windsor Regional Hospital to accept 40 GTA patients to help with overcapacity in Toronto area
Windsor Regional Hospital will be accepting a total of 40 patients from hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area, the hospital said in a memo released Thursday. Starting Sunday, Essex Windsor EMS, along with EMS in Chatham-Kent and Sarnia-Lambton, will work together to transfer five patients from the GTA over the following eight days. In an email to CBC News, Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) said the patients will "most likely" be ones with COVID-19. In the memo, WRH said Trillium Health Partners "has been one of the hardest hit hospitals" in Ontario. During a health meeting Thursday, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance said it has received a total of two patients from the GTA and also received two patients from WRH.
