On January 27, Health PEI implemented a universal masking policy across its facilities to protect patients, staff, and the public from the spread of illness.

UPEI recommends steps to help protect yourself during the winter months. These include staying up to date on vaccinations; staying home if symptomatic; practicing good hand hygiene; and wearing a mask to protect yourself and help prevent spread if you are feeling ill or have been exposed. Please visit the UPEI Guidance For Respiratory Illness for more information.

While the UPEI Health and Wellness Centre (HWC) is not implementing mandatory masking at this time, patients and staff are strongly encouraged to wear masks in the clinic. Masks are readily available at the HWC for anyone who needs one. Please note that care will not be denied to individuals who choose not to wear a mask.

COVID-19 test kits continue to be available at the HWC and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE).

Feel free to reach out to HSE at HSE@upei.ca or call 902-566-0901.
