The Ottawa Hospital has re-implemented its mask mandate in certain areas due to their anticipation of increased transmission of the flu, COVID, and RSV.
The hospital stated on X (formerly Twitter) that “Beginning September 11, masking will be required in all clinical areas and waiting rooms. Clinical areas include inpatient units, patient rooms, nursing stations, and ambulatory care areas.”
“Masking will continue to be encouraged, but optional, in all other non-clinical areas,” the statement added.
Their statement comes on the same day that the World Health Organization urged everyone to get COVID vaccinated or boosted for the umpteenth time.
“Our message is not to wait to get an additional dose if it’s recommended to you,” the director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
According to the Ottawa Hospital’s website, staff are still required to be “fully vaccinated” (meaning two shots), despite the fact that health experts have long ago admitted that immunity wanes quickly from the leaky vaccines, and the second shot was administered to most vaccinated individuals in 2021.
Earlier this week, it was announced that US President Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, was infected with COVID.
While the COVID virus has been talked about endlessly by mainstream media outlets of late, it’s not expected to cause a severe amount of illnesses and death.
