Mandatory mask-wearing has been brought back in Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust
The change marks a return to compulsory mask wearing, which had been in place for the majority of the pandemic. A statement from SaTH said:"As Covid-19, flu and other respiratory infection rates in our local communities rise, and we continue to see new cases in our hospitals, it is vital that we all stay vigilant and help to keep each other and our patients safe.
The policy states that"staff, patients and visitors must wear hospital-supplied Type IIR surgical masks in all clinical and public areas in the main buildings at Princess Royal Hospital, Telford and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. This includes all adjacent areas, the main corridors, reception areas and waiting areas".
