Masking guidelines

Updated Dec. 31, 2025

There are high rates of flu and other respiratory viruses in our region. To help keep everyone safe, patients, visitors, and staff must wear masks in areas where patients with weakened immune systems receive care. This includes:

  • Emergency Department and urgent care waiting rooms
  • Dedicated cancer, radiation oncology, and transplant clinics
  • Infusion centers

Anyone who wants to wear a mask is welcome to do so. If you have a cough, runny nose, or other respiratory symptoms, you must wear a surgical mask while inside Penn Medicine facilities.
