Effective immediately, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) is returning to universal masking. In addition to self-screening, visitors are now required to don a hospital-issued mask upon entry.

Due to increasing rates of respiratory illnesses in the community RVH’s Infection Prevention and Control and Occupational Health and Wellness teams have determined that masking is once again necessary to protect patients, visitors and members of TEAM RVH.

Masks may be removed only while eating or drinking outside of Café Royale and in the Food Court.
