Masking Requirements

Masks Strongly Encouraged

Due to the number of illnesses circulating in our community, St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital is strongly encouraging patients and visitors to wear a mask in all waiting areas throughout the hospital.

Patients entering the hospital with fever or respiratory symptoms are required to wear a mask. Visitors who feel unwell are asked to postpone visiting loved ones until they feel well.

Masks are available at all entrances and in clinical areas.
