Masking updates!

ByChristina Chan, R.Ac.

With upcoming changes to mask mandates, we would like to remind everyone that masking is still required within medical facilities.

We will continue to wear masks at H&H.

Due to the nature of our community space + that many of our clients are medically vulnerable and/or of varying vaccination statuses, masking is the simplest measure we can take to protect both clients and practitioners.

H&H has had 0% COVID transmission since we reopened May 2020, THANK YOU for continuing to keep our community safe!

The BCCDC is starting to recommend we wear N95/KN95 masks for a higher degree of protection, but we also acknowledge that due to supply chain issues and socio-economic barriers, not everyone in our community can access these. However, as a medical facility, our priority is to ensure our masking policies are solid to protect everyone, both practitioner and client alike.

  • We are reminding everyone that we require AT LEAST 2 layer masks, that fit snugly over your nose and mouth to reduce the spread of aerosols. We also encourage you if possible to double mask.
  • We have pleated medical grade masks available for $2.
    If your mask is not in good condition or too thin, we will sell you one.
