Some Canadian hospitals are reinstating mask mandates over COVID fears
(LifeSiteNews) – Some hospitals in eastern Canada resumed mandatory masking mandates, citing the COVID-19 virus as a reason.
In a recent statement, New Brunswick Horizon Health Network said the “continuous use of medical-grade face masks” will now be mandatory for all staff and visitors in emergency rooms and in patient areas.
According to Horizon Health Network spokesperson Merita MacMillan, as per media reports, the return of the mandatory mask mandate was due to COVID.
“We can confirm that there are COVID-19 outbreak units in chronic care at Horizon’s The Moncton Hospital (TMH), transitional care at Saint John Regional Hospital (SJRH), and a surgical unit at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital (DECRH) (Fredericton),” MacMillan said.
The data from the New Brunswick government shows that there were only 26 cases of COVID reported from June 29 to July 26, but no hospitalizations or deaths.
The mandatory face mask policy states that masks must be worn at all times; however, masks are not required for cafeterias, lobbies, or hallways.
Horizon Health Network runs about 12 hospitals and over 100 medical facilities throughout New Brunswick.
Mandatory face mask polices were common in Canada, and all over the world, for years during the COVID crisis, despite over 170 studies showing they were not effective in stopping the spread of COVID and were in fact harmful, especially to children.
Indeed, a recent study showed that COVID masking policies left children less able to differentiate people’s emotions behind facial expressions.
Many Canadian doctors who spoke out against COVID mask mandates, lockdowns, and the experimental mRNA injections were censured by their medical boards.
LifeSiteNews has published an extensive amount of research on the dangers of the experimental COVID mRNA jabs that include heart damage and blood clots.
The mRNA shots have also been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects in children, and all have connections to cell lines derived from aborted babies.
