Effective Monday December 15, 2025, the NBRHC will require masks in all patient care designated areas. This applies to all patients, care partners, visitors, employees, physicians, volunteers and contractors.

The decision to move to masking again in all patient designated areas was determined by our current level of hospitalizations from respiratory viruses and community transmission.

• Masks are required in all areas designated for patient care. This includes all in-patient units where patient care takes place and all out-patient clinics and waiting areas (medical imaging, lab, clinics) and the Emergency Department.

• Masks are optional in public and staff areas like hallways, the cafeteria, Tim Hortons and Town Square.

• Masks are still welcome in all areas where they are not required. Please respect each person’s decision to wear or not to wear a mask.

Visitors who feel unwell are asked to postpone visiting until they feel better.

À compter du lundi 15 décembre 2025, le CRSNB exige le port du masque dans toutes les zones désignées de soins aux patients. Cette exigence s’applique aux patients, aux aidants, aux visiteurs, aux employés, aux médecins, aux bénévoles et aux entrepreneurs.

La décision de passer à nouveau au port du masque dans toutes les zones désignées de soins aux patients a été déterminée par notre niveau actuel d’hospitalisations dues à des virus respiratoires et à la transmission communautaire.

• Le masque est obligatoire dans toutes les zones désignées de soins aux patients. Cela inclut les cliniques externes, les aires d’attente (imagerie médicale, laboratoire, cliniques) et le service des urgences. Il est aussi obligatoire dans les unités de soins pour patients hospitalisés, incluant les aires communes.

• Le masque est optionnel dans les zones publiques et les zones réservées au personnel, comme les couloirs, la cafétéria, le Tim Hortons et le hall central.

• Le masque est toujours le bienvenu là où il n’est pas obligatoire. Veuillez respecter la décision de chacun de porter ou non un masque.

Nous demandons aux visiteurs qui ne se sentent pas bien d’attendre d’aller mieux avant de visiter leurs proches à l’hôpital.
