At 10:15 p.m., the Code Grey issued due to a water main break outside CHEO was discontinued. Clinical care has returned to normal levels.
Thank you for the quick response from CHEO staff and medical staff, as well as partners at the City of Ottawa who stepped in quickly to provide support and keep our patients, families and staff, medical staff and learners safe and comfortable. We are also grateful to all the organizations and peer hospitals that reached out to support us, helping to ensure resolution and minimize the impact on our operations.
