Masking at CHEO

Masks work. They help prevent the spread of illness. And that matters at CHEO because we care for children who are extremely vulnerable to viral illnesses like flu, RSV and COVID-19.

Our guidelines for masks recognize this, but also the evolving nature of the viral illnesses circulating in the community.

When do I wear my mask?

Masks are currently required in the Emergency Department and Kids Come First Care Clinic, as well as in waiting rooms. Masks are optional, but recommended everywhere else.

Masks are available for all patients, parents, caregivers and visitors at CHEO. Anyone is welcome to wear a mask when coming to CHEO and families are welcome to ask their care team to mask during your visit or stay.
