Visitor Restrictions Lifted

Visitor restrictions at all of Riverside Health Care Facilities have been lifted.

The restrictions were put in place at the end of October at hospitals in Emo, Rainy River and Fort Frances as well as Rainycrest in response to the outbreak of the H1N1 flu.

They included children under the age of 18 being prohibited from visiting.

Officials say the number of people with the virus seeking care has eased, allowed them to remove the restrictions.
