Overnight closures at local ER this weekend

There’s another set of temporary ER closures coming to a local hospital.

The Victoria County Memorial Hospital in Baddeck’s emergency room will close overnight twice this weekend.

The ER is closed between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. Friday and Monday.

The Nova Scotia Health Authority says the closures are due to lack of physician coverage.

For emergency medical help you can go to another ER or call 911; for non-urgent health advice you can call 811 to speak with a nurse.
