Health P.E.I. has brought back masking requirements for staff as COVID-19 cases surge on the Island.
Masking is now mandatory for all staff working directly with patients, Health P.E.I. CEO Michael Gardam said in an email to staff Thursday.
Staff at Health P.E.I. facilities are being instructed to wear a mask if they’re within two metres of any patient, and must follow extra precautions when caring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19, influenza or similar illnesses.
Masking for members of the public, including visitors and partners in care, is not mandatory at Health P.E.I. buildings but will be strongly encouraged.
