UTMB Masking Requirements
(as of Sept. 29, 2022)

• Routine masking of patients in UTMB clinics and emergency departments will NOT be required unless they are still within the isolation period for a recent COVID infection or have a respiratory illness.
• Routine masking of visitors will NOT be required in UTMB hospitals or clinic settings. 
  • However, visitors will be required to don appropriate personal protective equipment when visiting patients under isolation.

Please note: This policy is subject to change based on COVID-19 infection and hospitalization data for our region.

UTMB Health clinics welcome visitors. The type and number of visitors present in the exam or procedure room may be restricted or limited by staff as clinically necessary to facilitate care and ensure patient privacy.

You will be asked screening questions when making your appointment and may hear similar questions from the clinical team. This potential repetition and extensive intake process is for your safety and ensures we get the correct information needed for our team members to assess and treat your symptoms and health care needs.
