Masking Required in All Patient Care Areas Effective Nov. 4
Effective Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, the NIH Clinical Center will resume masking in all patient care areas.
This means wearing a mask will be REQUIRED in all patient care areas, including waiting rooms. This change is due to an anticipated increase in COVID-19 and other respiratory virus activity in the community.
For patients who will be admitted to the inpatient unit (and their rooming in visitors), please note that testing for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) will also be in effect. For rooming in visitors, testing for SARS-CoV-2 will be in effect.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will keep you informed of any future changes to our masking policy.
