16 Times Better!

Typical outpatient setting required indoor CO2 concentration at which R0 does not exceed 1

Is below 620 ppm with no mask

1,000 ppm with a surgical mask

16,000 ppm with an N95 mask.

Mask mandate returns in health authority-operated facilities JANUARY 9, 2025 NEWS On January 6, 2025, the BC Ministry of Health announced the return of mandatory medical masks in facilities operated or contracted by provincial health authorities. These facilities include hospitals, long-term care and assisted living facilities, outpatient clinics, and ambulatory care settings. Due to an increase in respiratory illnesses such as influenza and RSV throughout the province, health care workers, visitors, contractors, and volunteers in these settings must wear medical masks. This will curb the spread of these illnesses and protect against preventable illness, keeping health care workers, patients, and facility residents safe. Masks will be required in patient care areas, which are any area in a health facility where patients, clients, or residents are actively receiving care. These include: Waiting rooms including emergency rooms Home and community care locations (including a client’s home) Any location where emergency health services are being provided (e.g. - ambulances, air ambulances) To learn more about the requirements, including exemptions, please visit the BC government website(link is external). Masking is currently not required in community clinic settings. The mandate is expected to remain until Spring 2025. If you have questions regarding the mandate, please connect with your local health authority

BC's #MaskMandate now includes Home Care too!

Good. 20 min+ of HCW in close contact with patient & most now are #FreedomToInfect Maskless = infect patients w/ CV/Flu/Measles

BUT should be #N95MaskMandates Far better than surgical

Anyone know any hospitals or provinces or states that have #N95MaskMandates?

Wearing N95 Masks. 0.11



 Wearing Surgical Masks. 1.51 These results, suggest that the risk of airborne transmission can be significantly reduced by wearing N95 masks inside the ward. However, it is impossible for all patients to wear N95 masks in the hospital. Therefore, maintaining good ventilation as much as possible is the feasible alternative measure to prevent airborne transmission in the ward.
