"Rising COVID and Flu Cases Prompt Return of Mask Mandates in Hospitals Across Multiple States"
Penn Medicine is updating its masking guidelines in response to the increasing cases of COVID-19, RSV, and flu, requiring everyone two and older to wear a mask in certain departments and prohibiting visitors who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have symptoms from entering any facility, even with a mask. Other health systems in the region, such as Main Line Health and Cooper University Health Care, have also revised their mask policies due to the surge in cases.
