Northern Health facilities adopt Mask requirement as of today


Today is the first day of the return of requirements for those visiting Health Care facilities to ensure that they have a medical mask on.

The move towards a fall/winter masking program was announced last week by Health Minister Adrian Dix and Doctor Bonnie Henry, the provincial Health Officer.

The use of masks is also required in all long term care and assisted living facilities, in all common spaces, as well as when participating in common indoor events at health facilities.

The Northern Health notice was relayed through Social media over the weekend.


At last week's information Session, Minister Dix and Doctor Henry outlined that the fall flu and COVID vaccination program will be launching in the province later this month.

No timeline has been released by Northern Health as of yet, towards when the program launches in the Northwest,  you can follow their social media stream for those updates as they come along.
