Central Health would like to advise that mask-wearing is still mandatory in all health care facilities and congregate living settings including personal care homes and long-term care homes.
Although masks are no longer mandated in indoor public spaces, everyone is strongly encouraged to continue wearing masks as they feel comfortable. It is important for everyone to continue to follow public health guidance to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your communities including getting vaccinated, washing your hands frequently and wearing masks where required.
COVID-19 vaccination continues to be available across the Central region. Individuals are also able to book their first or second dose of COVID-19 vaccine by clicking here or by calling 1-833-961-3749.
