It is our priority to ensure that patients and residents in our care have a safe environment and that staff, physicians and learners are protected at work, so they remain well, and we can avoid any disruption to patient care.
As masking continues to play an important role in limiting the risk of COVID-19 transmission and outbreaks, and masking mandates remain in place for Long Term Care facilities, Atikokan General Hospital will maintain our current requirement that outpatients, visitors, staff, volunteers, and learners wear hospital-approved masks at Atikokan General Hospital for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to ensuring a safe environment for patients, residents, our team and everyone who depends on us. As we continue adapting to co-existing with COVID-19, we will share further updates as they become available.
