in clinical spaces on the med center campus, including all areas of the Fred &amp; Pamela Buffett Cancer Center.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlthough masks are not required in education and research spaces, we must continue to be good campus partners and mask up in clinical spaces to protect our patients, including those who are immunocompromised,\u201d said Jane Meza, PhD, interim executive director of the office of health security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals walking into clinical spaces are required to wear a mask, including in hallways.&nbsp;When entering clinical areas from non-clinical spaces, be sure to wear a mask and pay attention to signage that indicates masks are required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to carry their own mask while on campus, but, if needed, masks can be found at the following entrances:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bellevue Health Center&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clarkson Doctors
