Mayo easing universal face mask requirement

Starting Monday, April 10, Mayo Clinic will no longer require patients and staff to wear face masks in most patient care areas and on campus.

Mayo Clinic will continue to require wearing a face mask in high-risk patient settings.  High-risk and immunocompromised patients will be notified to wear a mask.

“Mayo Clinic is evolving its policies due to the consistently low rates of hospitalizations, mortality, and community transmission levels of COVID-19 observed at most Mayo Clinic locations,” says a press release from Mayo.
