In response to a rise in infections, CIUSSS West-Central Montreal is reintroducing the use of face masks in certain areas to help reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. These measures aim to protect the well-being of all healthcare users and staff.
Masks are mandatory for visitors and caregivers in the following situations:
- When with hospitalized patients in acute care (hospitals) and rehabilitation sites
- In high-risk clinics, such as hemodialysis, oncology, and rheumatology
Masks are recommended:
- When visiting residents in long-term care facilities
- When accompanying someone to any clinical area across the CIUSSS, unless mandatory masking is required
If you’re experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection, please consider postponing non-essential visits.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!
