Masking guidelines
Updated Feb. 4, 2026
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.
