The B.C. government is bringing back masks in all health-care settings, Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced at a Thursday press conference.
These measures will go into effect on Oct. 3 and will include masking by health-care workers, visitors, contractors, and volunteers in all patient, client and resident care areas. Patients, clients, and residents will mask when directed by a health-care worker or based on personal choice.
Health officials across the country are urging Canadians to get a COVID and flu shot at the same time as provinces have seen a rise in cases.
