MUSKOKA — Good news today for local COVID-19 preparedness.

Muskoka’s two hospital “have just been able to procure four additional ventilators,” says Katherine Craine, of the Hunstville Hospital Foundation (HHF), which told officials to buy whatever equipment they need and could get their hands on and the foundation would cover the cost.

She said, now, “across both sites we now have the capability to ventilate up to 21 patients requiring ventilation, including COVID-19 patients.”

The Huntsville and Bracebridge hospital sites continue to fundraise for equipment and are also accepting supplies.
