ROCHESTER, N.Y. –Just when you thought we were done with masks, Rochester Regional health is bringing masks back.
All patients, visitors and staff members will be required to wear a mask inside Rochester General Hospital and Unity Hospital.
That’s regardless of vaccination status.
Rochester General alone has seen a 33% increase in in-patients with COVID-19 from Dec. 26 to Jan. 2.
This is a temporary mandate that’s in place until Jan. 16. then Rochester Regional will reassess whether to keep the policy in place.
