    These requirements apply to visitors/support persons, clients, patients (outpatient clinics and emergency departments) and health-care workers.

    Effective today, masks are required in all clinical areas of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Health Services. This includes hospitals and health-care facilities, congregate living and long-term care facilities. These requirements apply to visitors/support persons, clients, patients (outpatient clinics and emergency departments) and health-care workers. With health-care facilities seeing an increase in respiratory illness, these updated masking requirements are put in place to help reduce the spread of infection. Masking guidelines will be re-evaluated by March 31, 2025.
