URGENT: Take action to restore mask requirements in Saskatchewan’s Medical Settings
Hospitals shouldn’t make us sicker.
And neither should any other medical setting.
Without warning in April, the Saskatchewan government abruptly dropped mask requirements in medical settings. While COVID infections and reinfections pose risk to all of us, COVID is known to cause more death and harm to vulnerable people in hospitals, long term care homes, and other medical settings.
Hospital-acquired infections are already a problem. Mask requirements for patients, visitors and staff are known to mitigate hospital-acquired infections.
