UPMC To Require Face Masks Again

(WPXI) – UPMC will soon require face masks again in all of its healthcare facilities. “UPMC is seeing an increase in cases of respiratory viruses, including Covid, influenza and RSV,” a UPMC spokesperson said in a statement. Beginning Dec. 20, all employees, patients and visitors will be required to wear a face mask. The spokesperson said UPMC will continue to monitor cases and adjust protocols as the situation changes. Back in May, UPMC dropped its universal masking policy that was in place for three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
