For your safety and the safety of our patients, masking is and continues to be a vital component of HonorHealth’s respiratory virus prevention precautions during times of significant community spread. With respiratory virus season winding down, we’re happy to report that COVID-19, influenza and RSV transmission are trending downwards and approaching off season levels.

Beginning at 5 a.m. on Wednesday, March 1, the following changes will go into effect:
Our masking policy will transition from mandatory to optional for team members, patients, visitors, volunteers, vendors and all other clinical staff across the network. This applies to all locations unless noted below.

Masks remain required for team members, patients and/or visitors in the following situations:

• Droplet and airborne isolation rooms.
• Oncology units for immunocompromised and neutropenic patients.
