Huron County Emergency Services are stepping in to help fight COVID-19.
The Emergency Services formed a Community Care Team, which will work closely with the Huron-Perth Medical Officer of Health, to care for COVID-19 patients requiring in-hospital care.
If the service is needed, the Community Care Team will provide in-home assessments and testing for COVID-19 patients, limiting physical interaction in hospitals.
The Care team will be mainly concentrating specifically on those who are most vulnerable to the outbreak, and will deliver in-home care for elderly patients with severe COVID-19 cases.
The Community Care Team is expected to be ready for operation by April 30th, should there be a need for the service in Huron County.
