Hospitals across the South West are keeping masking requirements indefinitely.
The decision comes from hospitals dealing first hand with COVID for the past 2 years. This permanent mandate will insure everyone going into and out of a hospital is protected against COVID.
Along with masking, any new midwives, physicians, staff, volunteers and contractors must be vaccinated. COVID screening will also be in place.
The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance is apart of this agreement.
