This is an important advocacy win for everyone who’s worked so hard fighting to protect vulnerable patients and healthcare workers… while this policy is a step in the right direction, there’s still far more to be done.
As part of DoNoHarm BC’s #Postcards4PublicHealth campaign, British Columbians shared their stories about the lack of Covid safety in BC – particularly the loss of mask protections in healthcare.
1. Universal mask protections in BC healthcare settings. 2. Indoor air quality. 3. Public education about airborne Covid transmission and Long Covid. 4. Improved Paxlovid access. 5. Timely vaccine rollout. 6. Covid data and PCR availability.
On Monday, August 28th, doctors, patients and caregivers will gather outside the MLA office of Health Minister Adrian Dix to demand the restoration of universal masking in healthcare settings, alongside other key safety measures like clean air.
Today, DoNoHarm BC joined over 50 expert signatories supporting an open letter from Protect Our Province BC, calling for a safer return to school in the midst of the ongoing pandemic.
