Nebraska Medicine and UNMC policy requires masks in all areas within the hospitals and clinical areas, even for those who have received a COVID vaccination. (This includes, but is not limited to, wards, clinics, hallways, elevators, lounges, dining areas &#8212; except while eating &#8212; and garages). The signs will remind people coming from the non-clinical areas in Wittson Hall to the hospital that masks are required.<br \/>\n<P>Masks are required in Poynter Hall, which contains clinical offices and\/or clinical services.<br \/>\n<P>Masks also are required in Bennett Hall in all areas that have clinical offices and\/or clinical services. In Bennett Hall floors three through six, masks are not required for fully vaccinated individuals since these are not clinical in nature. In addition:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mask mandates remain in effect for all individuals who are NOT fully vaccinated.\n<li>Immunocompromised individuals, likewise, should continue to mask.\n<li>Vaccinated individuals who desire to minimize their risk may also continue to mask.\n<li>Masks are not required in private offices.\n<li>Masks will continue to be required for all visiting\/rotating students and all non-fully vaccinated faculty, staff and UNMC students in research buildings other than offices or small conference rooms.<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nebraska Medicine and UNMC policy requires masks in all areas within the hospitals and clinical
