Dear PHS Colleagues,
The U.S. public health emergency declared to respond to COVID-19 has officially ended. While the official end has been declared, our staff should continue to follow our policies to support the safety of ourselves and others. Masks are now optional, however, any employee with exposures or symptoms of COVID-19 will be expected to wear masks. We can now safely stop the masking requirement as our community’s COVID-19
infection numbers remain low, and fewer COVID-19 cases are requiring hospital-level care. Your leadership team will continue to monitor community infection rates for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases as needed and make recommendations accordingly to ensure the continued health and safety of you, our staff, and our patients. We will consider mandatory masking again in the future if there is a significant increase in the transmission of COVID-19 in the communities we serve or within our organization.
Staff Interested in COVID-19 vaccine booster, please contact your employee health provider.
Below is the symptom list to check yourself against.
Finally, please make sure to take care of yourself and utilize resources and self-care tools to help ensure your wellness.
