Virtual Visiting now available
At Guelph General Hospital we know how important it is for our patients to be able to connect with their families and friends thanks to a generous donation of 20 tablets from Fusion Homes. For those that are not able to use or do not have access to a personal device, staff can assist to conduct audio or video calls with applications such as Zoom. If you would like to request a “virtual visit”, please contact the unit staff for assistance.
What you should do to avoid the spread of illness
Practicing typical hygiene can help:
- Wash your hands often
- When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with your arm to reduce the spread of germs. If you use a tissue, throw it away as soon as possible and wash your hands.
- Avoid touching your eyes nose and mouth
Social Distancing
- We want everyone to stay safe so whether in hospital, at home or out in the community we remind you to keep a distance of two metres from others.
