Winnipeg police provided an update Thursday afternoon on the serious assault of a staff member at Seven Oaks Hospital.

Police said Wednesday that a person had been transported for treatment in unstable condition. They have not said if a weapon was used or if any arrests have been made.

"Our staff and leadership are devastated by this incident and our hearts and healing thoughts are with the victim and their family, as well as with all employees and patients at Seven Oaks," a Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) spokesperson said in a statement on Thursday.

Mike Nader, President and CEO of the WRHA, said his team is cooperating with police.

Nader said he wants to remind everyone health-care staff have been on the frontlines for almost two years and have had to put up with all restrictions.

"They're exhausted and they continue to sacrifice so much. Now more than ever, our health care workers deserve respect and kindness," he said.

"Early on [in the pandemic] there were lots of signs of support and I think as the pandemic has gone forward people have forgotten the sacrifices health-care professionals are making everyday."
