Masks must be worn in healthcare settings reminds Manx Care

Tue, 30 Nov 2021


Manx Care is reminding members of the public that medical grade IIR fluid-resistant facemasks need to be worn in all of the health and social care settings it operates across the Island, in line with new Covid-19 guidance.

This includes including Noble’s Hospital, Ramsey District Cottage Hospital, Primary Care Settings including GP surgeries, and all Care Homes and Day Services.

Fresh masks are provided free at every entrance, and are the best protection for patients, visitors, and those around them when worn correctly.

They should be worn to fully cover both the nose and mouth.

This isn’t a change in Manx Care’s policy; it’s been a requirement that all members of the public visiting its health and social care settings have had to wear a medical grade IIR fluid-resistant facemask for a number of months now, unless exempt from doing so.

However, in line with the Island’s move to Level Two of its Covid-19 escalation plan, this serves as a timely reminder for all members of the public to wear the correct type of facemask in the correct position on the face, fully covering both the nose and mouth.
