ESTEVAN - The Estevan Regional Nursing Home has not had any cases of COVID-19 since Sept. 20, but it remains at Level 3 in terms of visitor restrictions.
In an email to the Mercury, James Winkel with Saskatchewan Health Authority communications said the nursing home would remain at Level 3 based on direction from a medical health officer and a number of variables, including community activity.
Level 3 allows for compassionate care visitors.
The shift would normally occur two full infection cycles, which is 28 days, after the last positive case.
A total of 18 cases were diagnosed at the nursing home between staff and residents; at least 14 of the cases were residents. None of the cases are now classified as active.
