Inpatient Masking
In follow-up to the Call to Action on January 11th regarding inpatient masking, a decision has been made not to implement level 1 masks into our acute care facilities.
Inpatients are to be provided a procedure / surgical mask. Please note procedure / surgical masks have an increased protection for splash of fluids and can be more difficult to breathe through. Please monitor inpatients for mask use compliance related to this risk and notify leadership if you note this to be a concern.
Leads (or delegates), if you have received Level 1 masks at your site, please proceed to collect the level 1 masks and return them to the distribution centres, replacing them with procedure / surgical masks.
