Updated Masking Requirements for Those Coming to the Hospital

2023-11-27

In response to a growing number of respiratory infections throughout the Champlain region, CCH is enhancing its masking requirements for those coming to the hospital effective Monday, November 27, 2023

Patients, clients, caregivers, and visitors must now wear a mask at all times in areas of the hospital where direct patient care is delivered, as well as waiting areas and appointment rooms.

Wearing a mask will remain optional in common areas such as the main entrance, main hallways, the café, elevators, stairwells, washrooms and the gift shop.

Free medical grade masks are available upon entering the hospital and in various areas throughout the building. 

We thank everyone for their cooperation in helping to reduce the spread of respiratory infections in the hospital and keeping our patients, staff and physicians safe.
