New Brunswick’s Horizon Health Network has introduced mandatory masking in patient-facing clinical areas, including emergency rooms, due to an increase in respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19.
The regional health authority said all health-care workers, patients, social visitors, and designated support persons (DSPs) will be required to wear “medical grade” face masks in all patient-facing and clinical areas of its facilities.
