Changes in Mask Requirements
Effective April 11, 2025, masks are optional in Clinical Center patient care areas except when indicated (e.g. caring for patients on respiratory isolation precautions, during certain procedures).
A patient may request that masks be worn by the patient’s care team. These requests will be honored. Staff are required to wear CC-provided masks when honoring these requests.
The MEG Core Facility 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.
