Mask Mandate
Mandatory Mask Mandate at Hôpital Notre-Dame Hospital (Hearst).
Although most of Ontario’s remaining Mask mandates will be lifted on Saturday, June 11, 2022, the Hôpital Notre-Dame Hospital (Hearst), as a high-risk setting, in order to protect our vulnerable patients and our staff, will continue with the mask mandate which includes the requirement for everyone to wear a mask in our hospital, at all times. This includes all staff, outpatients in for appointments and visitors.
Screening continues to be in effect as well.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
