Wearing N-95 masks when required by the Medical Health Officer (Hospital E1)

/in , ,

At this time, all staff who are working in Menno Hospital are required to wear an N-95 mask. Fitting is being done for all staff on this unit. If you have not had the FITT test, please contact your supervisor.

An N95 mask should be changed just as one would change a medical mask:

  • When soiled
  • After interaction with a positive resident
  • After breaks
  • N95s can be extended between negative & asymptomatic residents like medical masks.

The intention of the Medical Health Officer’s recommendation for N95s was for them to be worn whenever one is on E1 unit, not just in resident rooms.
