SASKATOON -- The Rosthern Hospital will be experiencing temporary disruptions, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
Emergency and lab services will be impacted due to staff shortages.
During this time emergency services for those in Rosthern are available in Saskatoon at the Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon City Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital and in Prince Albert at Victoria hospital.
There was a post to the Rosthern Medical Clinics social media page from Jess Melle, a doctor at the clinic, claiming he has tested positive for COVID-19.
In the post Dr. Melle metioned how he saw 15 patients before being tested positive and says the 15 patients will be reached by public health.
Dr. Melle says that his family is “in shambles over this internet bullying” calling for an end to the fearmongering as he temporarily shuts down his social media.
Dr. Melle claims to have gotten the virus during a recent trip to Alberta, and says that his wife has also tested positive for the virus.
If residents have questions in regard to their health, medical advice can be provided by calling 811 or by visiting healthlineonline.ca.
