KMHC Masks No Longer Mandatory

Mask wearing is once again no longer mandatory at the Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre. The option to wear a mask is based on the recent decline of respiratory infections, including COVID-19, in the KMHC, Kahnawake and surrounding areas. The Public Health Unit (KMHC) team recommending that masks are no longer required within clinical areas. However, masks are still mandatory for all when around symptoms of a respiratory infection or exposure to COVID-19. Any healthcare worker with infectious symptoms should not be present at work until the resolution of symptoms. The healthcare worker needs to be tested for COVID-19 and optional for other respiratory viruses at the testing center.
