Beginning tomorrow, June 2, anyone entering a CoxHealth facility will be required to wear a mask or face covering.
The health systems says this includes both visitors and patients.
Visitor restrictions are still in place at this time.
CoxHealth says exceptions to this rule include children seeking care who are under age 2, and individuals with pre-existing conditions that make breathing difficult.
A press release says CoxHealth leadership feels that this direction is important to keeping patients and employees safe, and helps limit the local spread of COVID-19.
