B.C. restarts temporary mask requirements for healthcare settings https://cheknews.ca/b-c-restarts-temporary-mask-requirements-for-healthcare-settings-1232890/ “The B.C. government has reintroduced temporary #mask requirements for many #healthcare settings due to cold and flu season.
The #maskmandate is in effect for all #healthcareworkers, volunteers, contractors, patients and visitors in areas where people are “actively receiving care,”
@auscandoc I wish they had reinstated the mask requirement at the beginning of September before kids went back to school. I might have been able to avoid Covid infection in the emergency department at Royal Jubilee Hospital had staff and other patients been masked. Yes, I’m bitter. I have been wearing a mask since Covid began 5 years ago.
@mediocratese Always seem to be playing catch up.
What could have prevented this I wonder?
