We’ve come a long way from the days of general mask mandates for the public, but a recent move to eliminate the requirement in B.C. health care settings is causing some outcry.
Protesters gathered on Friday in front of the B.C. health minister’s office in Vancouver to voice their continuing frustration with the removal of mask mandates in most healthcare settings. Angela Bower has the story.
DoNoHarm BC, a non-partisan COVID-19 safety advocacy group, is set to host a protest on Monday aimed at returning masks to healthcare settings.
As part of DoNoHarm BC’s #Postcards4PublicHealth campaign, we’ve invited British Columbians to share their stories about the lack of Covid safety in BC – particularly the loss of mask protections in healthcare.
After 2023, funding for COVID-related services is set to end in BC. The problem is, COVID-19 is still here. Read DoNoHarm BC’s op-ed in the Georgia Straight.
As of April 8, 2024, masks are “no longer required in healthcare settings” in BC. This decision comes after data showing decreased COVID-19 levels in the province. However, COVID-19 hasn’t suddenly become less dangerous, nor has it disappeared.
