NYS DoH just sent a reminder that healthcare workers are required to wear a mask if they haven't gotten their flu shot. It makes zero sense they are ignoring COVID and not requiring masks for everyone. COVID levels are high, and you can still spread it if you are vaccinated.

The New York State Department of Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald declares
influenza to be prevalent in New York State for the 2023-24 influenza season, as of the date of
this announcement. In accordance with Section 2.59 of the New York State Sanitary Code (10
NYCRR § 2.59), all healthcare and residential facilities and agencies regulated pursuant to
Article 28, 36, or 40 of the Public Health Law, shall ensure that all personnel, as defined in the
regulation, not vaccinated against influenza for the current influenza season wear a surgical or
procedure mask while in areas where patients or residents are typically present. This
declaration shall remain in effect until the Commissioner declares influenza no longer prevalent
in New York State.
At this time, please activate your facility’s or agency’s policy and procedure to ensure
compliance with 10 NYCRR § 2.59.
