Mask Mandates Reinstated in California and Bay Area Hospitals Amid Respiratory Illness Season

UC Health has implemented a new masking policy requiring all employees and clinicians to wear masks when interacting with patients in response to the increase in respiratory virus infections in Greater Cincinnati. The policy will be in effect until the end of respiratory illness season and applies to various areas within UC Health facilities. The aim is to prevent the spread of diseases, including influenza, COVID-19, and RSV, and protect vulnerable patients.
