• This MediaWiki has been updated to version 1.41, see Special:Version. If you encounter any problems please let us know.
• The Masking policy has changed:

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.

The MEG Core Facility is part of the NMR Center, which is designated as a patient care area and follows Clinical Center guidelines regarding masking. Refer to the NIH Clinical Center Masking Policy for further details.
