The COVID-19 outbreaks on Montreal 4 at Providence Manor and Level 2 at Providence Transitional Care Centre are now over.
Both outbreaks were declared over on May 5, 2022, because it’s been 10 days since a last confirmed positive case and no on-going transmission has occurred on Montreal 4 or at Providence Transitional Care Centre.
The outbreak on Montreal 4, a resident home area at Providence Manor, was originally declared on Apr. 1, after two residents tested positive for the virus.
