December 27, 2024 -Masking is now required in our inpatient areas, Emergency Department (ED), Urgent Care Centre (UCC) and Children’s Outpatient Centre (COPC).
Additionally, please note that:
- All individuals will be supported in their decision to wear a mask in areas where masking is not required.
- Everyone will have have access to masks upon entry to the hospital and in all clinical areas.
- Staff will wear a mask when caring for patients who are wearing a mask in areas where masking is not required.
- Caregivers or visitors with infectious symptoms must postpone their visit until their symptoms have improved. If it is necessary for the caregiver (e.g. parent of a child, family of end-of-life patient or caregiver of a patient with dementia) to be present, then the caregiver is required to mask and remain masked upon entry to the hospital site.
