Mask updates in SMPH: Starting March 12, masks will not be required in most campus spaces, including many in SMPH. However, masks will still be required in some areas of the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR), such as its entrance, central elevators, basement, and patient imaging areas, due to patient care occurring in these spaces. Masks will also still be required inside the Clinical Teaching and Assessment Center on the third floor of the Health Sciences Learning Center (HSLC) to enable clinical simulation learning scenarios for health professions students. Pay attention to signage to know if a mask is still required in a specific area. See this map’s highlighted areas to know where masks are required in WIMR and HSLC.
Reminder: When you work or learn in a health care setting (e.g., UW Health, the VA Medical Center, and our statewide campus locations), follow the requirements of that health system. See this mask guidance update sent to UW Health faculty and staff on March 4.
