Hi,
When flu activity is at moderate levels according to the DOH at any one of the counties that houses a medical center, those who were granted an accommodation for the flu vaccine must mask at
all times when entering the facility. They can only remove it when they are eating or drinking and must change the mask if it becomes compromised (e.g., wet).

Hello,
I am curious what other hospital districts are implementing this flu season in regard to wearing a mask for HCW if not vaccinated for the flu.
Thank you,
