Masking Requirements

Mask Friendly

STEGH is a "mask-friendly" environment. This means wearing a mask will be up to you. Masks are available at all hospital entrances for those who wish to wear one. We respect and support everyone’s masking choice.

St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital strongly encourages patients and visitors to wear a mask in the Emergency Department. Patients entering the hospital with fever or respiratory symptoms are encouraged to wear a mask. Visitors who feel unwell are asked to postpone visiting loved ones until they feel well.
