On Monday, the largest hospital in Alabama became the latest in the state to no longer require masks be worn by staff, patients and visitors at its facilities, with limited exceptions.
Huntsville Hospital was the only major state hospital contacted by AL.com to continue to require masks be worn by staff, patients and visitors.
UAB Health care workers aren’t required to mask if they are vaccinated against the coronavirus and don’t have symptoms of respiratory infection, with limited exceptions, the hospital system announced. Staff, patients and visitors will be required to mask at the Montgomery Cancer Center hematology/oncology units, infusion areas, NICUs and some patients in ICUs.
Visitors in such areas also need to follow all staff instructions “related to wearing personal protective equipment, including masks.”
