Routine IT maintenance on Wednesday, December 17 will cause service interruptions between midnight and 6:00am affecting the YourHealthNS app and on-line appointment booking including COVID-19 testing, blood collection, X-Ray, EKG and the Need a Family Practice Registry. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Testing through the weekend confirms water at the Halifax Infirmary site meets Canadian Drinking Water Quality guidelines and is safe for drinking.
Facilities and Maintenance Services will continue to treat the water system for several days. There may be a slight chlorine taste to the water, but chlorine levels will be well within Canadian guidelines for safe drinking water.
While fire suppression capabilities at the site are still reduced following the water disruption last week, enhanced monitoring is in place on all floors for the safety of staff and patients.
