Wearing a mask will once more become mandatory, as of October 10, in all facilities of the Outaouais Integrated Health and Social Services Center (CISSS) (hospitals, CHSLD) as well as the La Ressource Rehabilitation Center.

“This decision was taken following the recent increase in the circulation of respiratory viruses in our region,” explained the CISSS de l’Outaouais in a press release on Thursday followingnoon.

Wearing a mask will therefore be compulsory, at all times, in hospitals, CHLSDs and in the La Ressource Rehabilitation Center, starting October 10.

The CISSS also recalls the importance of carrying out hand hygiene when entering and leaving these facilities as well as following contact with a user.

“If you have symptoms of respiratory infection, we ask you to be vigilant and postpone any visit to a hospitalized or housed person.”
