Face masks have been mandatory in all healthcare settings
Rules around the wearing of face-masks in hospitals are to be relaxed later this month.
Despite the ending of all other Covid 19 restrictions over a year ago, the universal mask-mandate for staff, patients and visitors has remained in acute hospitals across the country.
The Irish Independent reports that will end from April 19th.
However it says new guidelines from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre advise the continued use of face-masks in certain settings.
While ultimately the decision on whether to end the 'universal' use of them will be up to individual hospitals.
