Demands: 1. Maintain mask requirements in BC hospitals & indoor care. 2. Mask requirements for patients. 3. N95-equivalent masks. 4. Mask coverage in private & community health settings

DoNoHarm BC is leading a province-wide campaign to keep mask protections in BC medical settings.

February 23, 2024 (British Columbia) – DoNoHarm BC issues a statement responding to the release of BC Budget 2024.

This November, DoNoHarm BC has launched an urgent new campaign to address the expiry of British Columbia’s COVID-19 health management funding after 2023.

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.

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.

On Friday, April 28th at 12:00 pm, people in British Columbia will converge on the office of Health Minister Adrian Dix to protest the removal of universal masking in hospitals and long-term care.
