Masking Requirement for Unvaccinated Employees Extended

Due to the continued prevalence of flu in our region, the masking requirement for employees who did not receive a flu vaccine has been extended.

Unvaccinated team members will be required to continue wearing a surgical mask through Wednesday, April 15 when they are working at any Carilion location. This applies to employees, physicians, independent practitioners, students, volunteers, and contract staff who work in our facilities.

Leaders should continue to reinforce masking expectations for unvaccinated team members in their departments.

This extension is intended to help protect our patients, visitors and team members as flu activity remains elevated in our area.

Thank you for your continued efforts to support a safe care environment. If you have questions, please contact the HR Service Center through Employee Center.
