First it was California with the new mask mandates, now Massachusetts follows.

When respiratory virus illness in our community exceeds 2.85% (1.5 times the regional baseline) for two consecutive weeks, healthcare personnel will be required to use a facility-issued facemask in direct interactions with patients in clinical care locations, such as when entering a patient room or bay, or in other locations where care is delivered such as examining a patient on a stretcher. According to the healthcare system, that 2.85 percent threshold has been reached.
While there would be no mandate for patients and visitors at that point, they would be “strongly encouraged to wear a facility-issued facemask in those same situations when they are able to.”
The mask mandate will not be lifted until respiratory illness falls below 2.85 percent for a week.
