TILLSONBURG - A COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital on the 2 South in-patient unit.

The outbreak was declared today. Right now there are less than 5 patients involved in the outbreak who have tested positive. The patients and their families are being notified.
