Updated CDC COVID-19 Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations

On Sept. 23, 2022, the CDC updated its COVID-19 infection prevention and control recommendations for healthcare personnel to no longer require masks in healthcare settings. As a result, effective immediately, masks remain recommended but are no longer required for all patients and staff at our office. Please keep reading for more information.

Will the doctor and staff wear masks?

The decision to wear a mask, or to have your provider(s) wear a mask, is up to you. At the start of your appointment, you can have a conversation with your provider(s) about whether you’d like them to wear a mask. Your provider may also choose to wear one at their discretion.

When will we ask you to still wear a mask?

Even if you do not want to wear a mask, there are certain times we will ask you to wear one.

1. If you are not feeling well, and especially if you are experiencing respiratory symptoms of any kind (cough, sore throat, congestion, etc.), we will ask you to wear a mask. We also request that you call the office before coming in, so we can evaluate the best course of action for your care.
2. If you have a known recent exposure to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you wear a mask when coming to the office. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate our new normal.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
