EFFECTIVE April 10, 2023
Starting April 10, 2023, masks are OPTIONAL in all WYH practices EXCEPT in certain situations outlined below (regardless of vaccine status):
- You must wear a mask if you are experiencing any respiratory symptoms (e.g. cough, runny nose).
- You must wear a mask if you have been diagnosed with COVID within the last 10 days.
- You must wear a mask if you have a known COVID exposure within the last 10 days (following your last known exposure)
- You are encouraged to wear a mask if you choose to do so.
These rules apply to patients, visitors, and staff in any WYH facility/office.
Our number one priority is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our patients to receive care. Our revised guidelines align with the CDC and NYSDOH, which WYH has followed throughout the pandemic. Although we do not anticipate the need to return to universal masking, we may modify requirements if circumstances change.
