Banner Health enforces mask mandate amid flu surge
Originally Published 10 days ago — by Rural Radio Network
Banner Health has implemented a mandatory mask policy across all its facilities in six states due to a surge in seasonal influenza, particularly the H3N2 subvariant, to protect vulnerable populations like the elderly and immunocompromised. Masks are required for patients, visitors, and staff in areas with patients, with masks available at entrances, and additional health measures are encouraged to reduce flu transmission.
