The Health Care System declined to follow suit, over a year ago, when Newfoundland and Labrador did away with the mandatory of masking up.
Health Care Facilities have required people to wear masks in these last few years. Those restrictions are being lifted as of today, May 15, 2023
All visitors, patients, and staff can now be in Hospitals without masking up.
Staff and physicians have received emails on Friday, May 12 2023 that masks are no longer required in facilities within Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services.
Masking will continue, based on point risk assessment for staff, patients, and visitors upon arrival of health care facilities.
