Use of masks in healthcare settings in England
A reminder that masks continue to be required in healthcare settings in England
In England, the requirement for mask wearing in most public areas ends today.
However, the UK Health Security Agency has not changed its advice, and therefore it continues to be a requirement within healthcare settings for both staff and patients to continue to wear face coverings.
See para 5.1: Infection prevention and control for seasonal respiratory infections in health and care settings for winter 2021 to 2022
Therefore, you may wish to put reminders up to inform your patients they still need to wear their face coverings when in clinic.
