From March 12
Responding to the spread of coronavirus, North Shore Health in Grand Marais is actively preparing to prevent and contain cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus.

Effective immediately, all visitors – including family members, contractors and volunteers – will be screened before they visit residents at North Shore Health.

The doors into North Shore Living will be locked. Visitors will be asked several questions about health status and travel history and they will have their temperature taken. Based upon those results, North Shore Living and Hospital visitors may be restricted from visiting.
