Masking, Screening and Visitation Update

Beginning Monday, May 8, 2023, masking will be optional in non-clinical areas and outpatient waiting areas of our main hospital campus and Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC). COVID-19 screenings will also be optional.

Masking will remain required in high-risk and patient care areas at Hines VA’s main medical campus. Patients or staff can request that a mask be worn, and anyone displaying COVID-19 symptoms will be asked to mask. Masks will remain available for all visitors.

Mandatory COVID-19 screening will no longer be required. All entrances previously closed for COVID-19 safety procedures will be reopened.

Masking, screening and visitation requirements remain dependent on the community transmission levels and may be adjusted as needed.
