Temporary Masking in Effect at Main Line Health Facilities
With the significant increase in flu cases across the region, Main Line Health has expanded masking requirements and will initiate temporary masking for all who enter acute and ambulatory care facilities Systemwide, effective at 7 a.m. on Thursday, January 8. This requirement will remain in place for at least the next two weeks (January 22).
This applies to:
- All acute care hospitals, as well as Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital and Mirmont Treatment Center inpatient and outpatient locations
- Main Line Health urgent care and ambulatory care facilities
- Main Line Health buildings where patient services are provided
- All Main Line Health Care locations
Visitors and patients (age 2 and above) are strongly encouraged to wear masks, using a clean mask from home or a Main Line Health-provided mask. Visitation remains unrestricted at this time.
If you do not have a mask with you, one will be provided to you when you arrive at a Main Line Health facility.
Caring for the community is of utmost importance and this will help to reduce the spread of these respiratory illnesses.
We will actively monitor our respiratory illness rate to determine if masking will be lifted or extended beyond the initial two-week period, as well as review guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Pennsylvania Department of Health and other regulatory agencies.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and cooperation.
