Masks Still Required at MidMichigan Health Facilities

While the state of Michigan no longer requires masks for residents beginning June 22, masking is sitll mandatory for all MidMichigan Health Medical Centers, outpatient centers and provider clinics regardless of vaccination status.

“We are delighted to see the COVID numbers at an all-time low for our state and local communities; however, it is our priority to keep our patients safe and minimize any risk for potential exposure to the virus,” said Lydia Watson, M.D., chief medical officer and senior vice president, MidMichigan Health. “Our policy follows the current recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) to continue masking in health care facilities. Our leadership will carefully evaluate the situation on a regular basis and communicate any further changes to the public. Updates based on our COVID-19 Response Plans will also be made on our website as they occur.”

Masks will continue to be provided at MidMichigan facilities entrances for those without a face covering. Scarves, bandanas and masks with valves are not allowed.
