• 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 -- please read the announcement from Dr. Gilman below:

Masks are optional in-patient care areas except as noted below. 

 * Anyone (staff / patient / family member) with respiratory symptoms must wear a mask while in the CC.
 * Masks are required when caring for patients on respiratory isolation precautions.  
 * N95 respirators or PAPRs are required when caring for patients on enhanced respiratory isolation or airborne isolation precautions.  
 * A patient may request that masks be worn by their care team. These requests will be honored. 

The mask policy will be updated when surveillance data indicate increasing respiratory virus activity in the community. Please understand that we fully anticipate the need to return to masking in patient care areas this fall. 

 Dr. Gilman

The MEG Core Facility is a patient care area and follows Clinical Center guidelines regarding masking. Refer to the Guidelines for Use of Masks in Patient Care Area for details.
