Canadian hospitals need to maintain MASK mandates

Recent signers:
Mavis Lai and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

Healthcare facilities- including hospitals - across Canada are LOOSENING MASK MANDATES.

This puts VULNERABLE populations at higher risk of COVID-19.

Vaccines cannot be relied on alone for protection. 

People with NO or FEW symptoms can still spread COVID-19

Hospitalizations remain HIGH 

Healthcare workers and staff are in short supply and are at risk

Getting repeated infections increase the likelihood of...

  • Long Covid
  • Hospitalization
  • All-cause mortality
  • Diabetes
  • Blood clotting disorders

WE...as patients, caregivers and healthcare workers:  

  • Assert our right to safety in hospitals and other healthcare settings
  • Demand that masks be re-instated in hospitals and healthcare facilities
  • Expect that institutions follow through on their DUTY OF CARE and PROTECT patients, caregivers and staff
