Voluntary masking update
Riverdale Community Midwives has adopted a voluntary masking policy within our clinic. Any client may request that their midwife wear a mask while providing care.
If you decide to wear a mask, your midwife will follow suit. Consider your health status, stay home, and request a virtual visit or reschedule if you feel unwell.
In June 2022 the Ontario government ended mask mandates and placed masking and safety responsibilities in the hands of health-care facilities.
Masking requirements are subject to change depending on virus activity in the hospital and community, with the possibility that masking in all clinical areas may be required again if COVID-19 transmission increases in the autumn.
Updates will become available as needed.
