Eastern Health is implementing measures in preparation for a possible COVID-19 outbreak in the province.
In an internal memo to Eastern Health staff acquired by VOCM, Eastern Health says an Emergency Operations Centre has been established, and a COVID-19 assessment clinic is being set up at the Waterford Hospital which is expected to be up and running by next week.
Eastern Health is also limiting face-to-face meetings and is taking a look at rescheduling large-scale events.
An algorithm is also being developed to screen for potential cases of COVID-19.
