(Kahnawake – 26, Onerahtohkó:wa/May 2020) The Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre (KMHC) wishes to inform the community that, in line with the recommendation that all people wear a face covering or mask in public places when they cannot maintain a 2 m social distancing, all clients with no symptoms presenting for medical or social services must wear facial coverings or masks.
Clients should bring their cloth mask if possible. KMHC recommends clients purchase their own re-usable masks if they do not have one already.
Children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, has a disability, or is unable to remove their mask without assistance should not wear a mask.
All clients who have COVID-19 symptoms must call before going to a medical or social services appointment and must wear a procedure mask if they are directed to present for care.
