Access to the Weyburn General Hospital was restricted to the third floor over New Year’s and for the first week of January, due to an influx of influenza cases, and it was declared over as of Jan. 9, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
The SHA issued a statement on Friday explaining what had occurred.
