LILLEY: CSA pushes for mandatory masking in all health settings
Wear a mask every time you visit your doctor or a hospital? That’s a recommendation soon to come from the Canadian Standards Association.
Covid dictators still want to dictate.Are you ready to wear a mask every time you visit your doctor or go to a hospital? That’s a recommendation soon to come from the Canadian Standards Association backed by several activist groups. The CSA is conducting public consultations on the issue until Aug. 19.
The proposal would be that patients, staff and medical personnel would be required to wear an N95 respirator mask – not those little blue surgical masks – at all times. Part of the proposal would exempt some areas of a hospital; for example, if it was just in use by administrators and not open to patients.
The activists backing this, though, believe that isn’t good enough and want the exempt areas limited or done away with all together.
The idea is likely to gain support from some groups but don’t expect everyone in the medical community to be on board even though supporters claim this idea is backed by the best science. One specialist in the infectious disease area reached out to express their opposition, adding many doctors don’t like this.
