Carea Community Health Centre is Mask-Friendly. Individuals are no longer required to wear a mask within our sites. We will continue to support those individuals who still choose to wear a mask. All individuals who put on a mask should use an agency-issued mask. Masks will be provided at building entrances.

Please note the following exceptions which will continue to require masking:

• If you are symptomatic or have confirmed COVID within the past 10 days, you are to self-declare your symptoms and wear a mask. 
• Your provider or our receptionists may request that you wear a mask based on your symptoms.

Staff, volunteers and other non-client visitors, if you are feeling unwell, please stay home. This will help us continue to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff, clients and community.

This decision has been informed by the recent updates from Public Health Ontario. Like all COVID-19 policies and practices, the need for universal masking will be subject to ongoing evaluation in relation to the spread of COVID-19 and will be revisited if needed. All decisions will continue to be based on provincial guidance/direction and informed by subject matter experts. Details/rationale will be communicated widely.
