Due to the increased incidence of influenza, COVID, RSV and other respiratory illnesses in the community, Mercy Medical Center and MercyCare facilities are returning to universal masking precautions. Beginning, Monday, December 19, visitors, patient families, volunteers and Mercy staff members are required to mask at all times while in Mercy facilities.
Mercy has temporarily returned to these precautions for the safety of hospitalized patients and the community. The changes will remain in place as we continue to monitor local rates of infection.
