Eastern Health is advising the public that all services on the Bonavista Peninsula, Burin Peninsula, Clarenville and Whitbourne areas will return to normal as of Wednesday morning.

Services at Carbonear General Hospital will return to normal on Wednesday, with the exception of surgery. Eastern Health says only emergency surgeries will be performed in Carbonear Wednesday. Other scheduled surgeries will be rebooked.

The health authority says patients and clients can assume that services, clinics, surgeries and appointments in St. John’s and Placentia will go ahead as previously scheduled unless otherwise notified.

Since there are still safety issues with travelling within the St. John's-metro area, Eastern Health is also encouraging the public to refrain from visiting family and friends in its city facilities unless necessary.

It says emergency services continue to be available at all sites.
