Face mask requirements lifted at Landspítali in Iceland

Face mask requirements at Landspítali have become optional, according to a recent announcement. While the mask mandate has been lifted, other protective measures, such as visitor restrictions and hand hygiene protocols, will remain in effect.

This change follows a series of restrictions that were implemented in mid-July, triggered by COVID-19 infections detected in eight hospital departments. These infections quickly spread among both staff and patients, prompting the hospital to take immediate action.

The situation will be reassessed in one week to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone at the facility.
