"Lancaster County Medical Facility Implements Stricter Masking Policy"

Penn Medicine in Lancaster County has implemented new masking guidelines due to a surge in COVID-19 and flu cases. All healthcare workers are required to wear masks, while patients and visitors are strongly encouraged to do so. Exceptions are made for those who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have symptoms, and masking is mandatory for patients and visitors over the age of two in specific areas. The increase in flu and COVID-19 cases has prompted this policy change, with the state expecting updated case counts soon.

Boston Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Reinstate Masking Policy Due to Respiratory Illness Uptick

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston has reinstated its masking policy for staff and patients due to an increase in respiratory illnesses in the area. The hospital will provide face masks at entrances and hygiene stations, and individuals are required to wear them at all times. The policy will be adjusted based on data points such as rates of respiratory illness, staff absenteeism, and hospitalizations. The hospital will lift the mask requirement when these data points consistently decrease. This move comes as mask-wearing policies were initially implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
