Patient Safety

Patient Safety

On May 13, 2021 the Centers for Disease Control announced that fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or social distancing (except where required by federal, state, local, tribal or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance).

While North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper lifted most mandatory masking requirements, the state of North Carolina continues to require masks in healthcare settings, regardless of vaccination status.
