Masks have been reinstated in NB, PEI, and NFLD health care facilities. NS Health & the IWK have been completely silent. On May 7, 2025, a memo was sent to Sr. Leadership stating universal maksing might return in response to "seasons of increased viral respiratory activity." We are in that season.
A screenshot of a Nova Scotia Health memo dated May 7, 2025: Effective May 9, masking will no longer be required within clinical areas of Nova Scotia Health facilities. Masking requirements during clinical interactions will be based on a Point of Care Risk Assessment or if deemed required by specific programs/services. Anyone who is symptomatic must don a mask to enter a facility. Signage will continue to be posted at entrances. Those supporting patients at the highest risk of severe outcomes of infection may choose to require masking. Signage and masks should be placed in a visible location for patients and visitors upon entry to the unit. The Nova Scotia Health Respiratory Virus Safety Plan and Masking Guidance has been updated for spring and summer 2025 to reflect these changes. The epidemiology of respiratory viruses in the general population and in Nova Scotia Health facilities will continue to be monitored as we move into the fall months. Further adjustments to masking will be made in response to local epidemiology, which may include a return to universal masking during future seasons of increased viral respiratory activity.

I'm just waiting for the news coverage in Nova Scotia that talks about low vaccine uptake but fails to comment on how quiet public health has been about availability. Not to mention there's been no education about the Covid vaccine.

If Quebec were to ban face coverings in public, this mask wearing immune compromised journalist would not be able to travel to Quebec. As Canadians, we have become accustomed to seeing such reactionary policies in the USA. But we should stand against such restrictions in Canada.
