In alignment with many hospitals across Ontario, Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital are easing some pandemic restrictions.
Masking is now optional in non-patient areas at AGH and CPDMH.
The Mississippi River Health Alliance says it’s their part in easing pandemic restrictions.
Non-patient areas include public hallways, offices, and meeting rooms.
All staff, visitors and patients continue to be required to wear a mask upon entering any patient care areas, including hallways and waiting rooms.
Inpatients are encouraged to wear a mask when leaving their room.
Masking is still required at Fairview Manor in compliance with direction from the Ministry of Long-Term Care.
In addition, the cafeterias will now be open to visitors, although visitors are not permitted to eat or drink in patient rooms.
