Starting Monday, March 21st, the Government of Ontario will drop the mandatory mask mandate in the majority of public settings, with the exception of high-risk settings such as long-term care and health care facilities. This is a friendly reminder that masking, along with entrance screening, will continue to be required to enter Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) and all satellite buildings. These safety measures will be in place for the foreseeable future to protect our patients, staff and visitors.

Additionally, all staff, professional staff, learners, volunteers, and essential contractors while in any TBRHSC building, must wear a mask and eye protection immediately upon entry until exit and at all times. Masks and eye protection can only be removed if you are in an approved break area when eating, drinking and when able to maintain a distance of 2 m/6 ft or more from others (this includes patients and co-workers) or if you are in a private office or workspace.
