Visitors to Nova Scotia hospitals will be required to show proof of vaccination for COVID-19 when entering facilities effective next week.
Nova Scotia Health announced Thursday that support people and visitors must show evidence of their vaccination status starting on Oct. 13.
The policy applies to designated family or support people of hospital patients as well as people accompanying patients for a scheduled test, appointment or procedure.
Exceptions may be made for certain situations, including emergencies and end-of-life care, the health authority said in a news release. In those cases, support people must follow extra infection control measures.
Proof of vaccination will not be required for those seeking care or treatment at hospitals.
