As a result of the growing COVID-19 pandemic and the volume of admitted patients it currently has, Cambridge Memorial Hospital (CMH) has made the difficult decision to have patient-only access to the hospital. Visitors will no longer be allowed in the hospital, unless there is an exceptional circumstance including:
- Close relative of a patient nearing end-of-life
- Parents or guardians of a child admitted to hospital and is under the age of 18 (two people only)
- A partner or support person of a woman giving birth (one person only)
- Emergency Department remains open 24/7– please note that non-urgent, non-life threatening cases may experience longer than normal wait times. The same visitor restrictions apply to the Emergency Department.
Please note that all visitors must pass screening before entering the hospital.
