The health authority says the updated policy applies to everyone at inpatient and ambulatory areas where clinical care is provided. NSH spokesperson Jennifer Lewandowski said the change comes in response to rising COVID-19 activity in the province. “To ensure the safety of both patients and staff, everyone, regardless of their role or reason for being in these clinical care areas, is required to follow the updated masking policy,” Lewandowski told 95.7 NewsRadio in an email. The IWK Health Centre is also planning to bring back stronger masking requirements as of Oct. 1. “It’s not just COVID, it’s RSV, influenza, you name it,” said Dartmouth General emergency Dr. John Gillis. “The ERs are already at a breaking point.” 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post New dialysis units coming to three N.S. hospitals next post البحرية الأميركية تبدأ الاعتماد على الإنترنت الفضائي You may also like أونتاريو تمدّد اعتقال موقوفي الهجرة في سجونها لحساب... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia judge gives teen two years probation... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 N.S. government revises deficit forecast higher, citing softening... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 Four years since the disappearance of Ryan James... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 Gastrointestinal illnesses linked to P.E.I. shellfish festival jump... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 Gas prices dip slightly in Nova Scotia while... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia puts almost $22 million toward energy... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 Current, former spy service officials to appear today... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia tourism hurt by ferry cancellations as... 27 سبتمبر، 2024 لبنان في صلب محادثات ترودو وماكرون 27 سبتمبر، 2024
