Staffing shortages have forced the closure of the Emergency Department at Sackville Memorial Hospital today.

Horizon Health Network says virtual health care appointments are available through E-visit-N-B, for conditions including UTI,  earaches and cold and flu symptoms.

The emergency department will reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning.
