A Nova Scotia Health spokesperson said a second water main break occurred early on Thursday morning while crews were attending to the original break at the QEII Halifax Infirmary.
Access to emergency healthcare services in Halifax was dealt another blow on Thursday as the city’s QEII infirmary site was without running water or heat following a second water main break at the hospital in 24 hours.
“The health department came in and they moved everyone they could move out of the hospital. Some people live far away, they live five or six hours from here. How can they get home?” He said some surgeries at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax and the Dartmouth General Hospital are being rescheduled to accommodate urgent cases that would normally be done at the Halifax Infirmary.ALS drug will be pulled from Canada, U.S. markets after failed trialMischief trial begins for 3 men charged in Alberta COVID-19 border blockade
“The emergency department is open so if you have an emergency, absolutely come here,” he said, adding that he otherwise recommends individuals choose a pharmacy, virtual care, or a separate emergency department location until the issue is resolved at the Halifax infirmary.On the bright side, he said boilers are operating again and therefore heat will be restored to the buildings on Thursday afternoon.
