Message from the President: Announcing new COVID-19 safety protocols
May 24, 2021
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated guidelines stating that fully vaccinated people can now resume activities without wearing masks or physically distancing, except where required. Whereas UT Health San Antonio will follow these CDC guidelines, aligning with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order, a masking mandate for clinical areas will remain, based on the recommendation of Texas Department of State Health Services Commissioner, John Hellerstedt, MD.
