The Cypress Health Region has announced that the respiratory outbreak at the Shaunavon Hospital and Care Center has been rescinded and visitation at the facility can now resume.

The Health Region put the Hospital and Care Center under outbreak status on February 9th after patients became ill.

While visitation has now resumed, the Health Region says illnesses continue to circulate in many communities and if you are feeling ill or have signs and symptoms of an illness please refrain from visiting the facility unless it's to seek medical attention.

The Cypress Health Region would like to thank the public for adhering to the visitation restrictions during the Outbreak and to Health Region staff who worked diligently to rescind the Outbreak as quickly as possible.
