Don’t throw out those masks yet.

Recent changes in masking guidance has not changed the recommendations for anyone entering Bradford Regional Medical Center and Olean (N.Y.) General Hospital. Masks will still be required at both hospitals and at any off-site locations.

Both facilities are member hospitals of Upper Allegheny Health System.

“We understand the excitement generated by the CDC’s recent announcement to relax mask requirements for fully vaccinated people,” said Dennis McCarthy, health system spokesperson.

“However, individual organizations still maintain their own policies. Hospitals in particular must remain vigilant and maintain an abundance of caution to protect patients, employees and visitors,” McCarthy said.

He described the health system’s guidance in more detail.

“Masks will continue to be required for anyone entering BRMC and OGH,” he explained. “No one may enter our hospitals or its affiliated off-site locations without a mask. In addition, temperature screenings will continue at the entrances to each and greeters will continue to be present to ensure compliance.”

The requirements are not out of line with new masking guidance from agencies including the CDC and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

On Friday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health reminded the state’s residents that individual businesses and organizations can still require vaccinated individuals to wear masks.

The new guidance from the CDC states that fully vaccinated people can participate in activities without a mask and without physically distancing — as long as they are at a place that does not impose mask-wearing requirements. Also, the CDC’s guidance still requires that people — even vaccinated ones — still wear masks in certain locations, including planes, buses, trains, airports and transportation stations.

People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after either their second dose of a vaccine, if it is a two-dose vaccine, or two weeks after their first shot if it is a single-dose vaccine.
