Masking guidelines are changing at Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton.

Patients will now be required to wear a mask in the direct patient care environment.

This is due to an increase in positive COVID-19 cases and outbreaks within the facility, affecting patients and healthcare workers.

As of December 8, 2023, social visits are temporarily suspended in the following units due to a COVID-19 outbreak :

– General surgery unit (4A)

– Surgery unit (4E)

– Medicine unit (4C)

– Nephrology unit (4F)
