With some new public health orders going into effect on Monday, August 24 for the entire Prairie Mountain Health region, the local health authority has an update to their policies at hospitals and health centres.
Prairie Mountain Health officials say anyone entering their facilities at this time, for services or visiting, must bring and wear a mask.
PMH also states that everyone entering their facilities will be screened at the door.
Province-Wide Restrictions Coming Soon
The province recently announced all visitors arriving at health-care facilities will soon be required to wear a non-medical mask to be permitted into the site.
The province-wide measure takes effect on September 1, and also extends to outpatients attending appointments at clinics within hospitals and health centres throughout the province.
While primary care clinics and other locations providing health services are not currently included in the mask requirement, all Manitobans are strongly encouraged to wear a non-medical mask when seeking care, according to Health Minister Cameron Friesen.
