Visitor restrictions at Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville have now been extended to include all medical units at the site.
Visitor restrictions have been put in place on the medical units (which include Medical Units A and B, as well as Medical B extension) due to a gastrointestinal illness circulating. Some exceptions may apply for immediate family of critically ill patients.
