Due to high community transmission rates of respiratory viruses, CharterCARE Hospitals are moving to Respiratory Virus Guidance Status RED, effective on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
This means Level 2 surgical masks are required for all patients and visitors, and for all staff, at all times while in the hospital. Masks will be available to all patients/family/visitors on arrival to the hospital in addition to the self-serve mask stations at each entrance. Again, this move is based on rising community respiratory virus rates, an increase in hospital admissions due to respiratory infections, and patients seen in the Emergency Department with Respiratory Illness. This step is consistent with other health systems in our area.
Thank you for your help in adhering to this important safety precaution.
