Changes to the Hospital’s Mask-Wearing Policy

Effective Tuesday, July 14, 2026, the mask-wearing policy within the hospital will change.

Until now, we have asked everyone to wear a mask while inside the hospital. However, as the infection situation has stabilized, the decision to wear a mask within the hospital will now be left to each individual, including patients, visitors, healthcare professionals, and all others entering the hospital.

However, we ask that you wear a mask in the following situations:

• If you have a fever or respiratory symptoms such as coughing, a runny nose, sore throat, or sneezing.
• Depending on a patient’s condition, hospital staff may ask you to wear a mask.
• Depending on the prevalence of infectious diseases, we may ask you to wear a mask. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
