PORT AUX BASQUES, NL – Western Health is advising visitor restrictions are in place at the Dr. Charles LeGrow Health Centre in Port aux Basques.

The health authority is asking the public to help prevent the spread of infection by washing or sanitizing their hands when entering or exiting any of its facilities.
Anyone with flu-like illness or gastrointestinal symptoms is also asked not to visit any Western Health facilities.
