While we are encouraged by the CDC’s new mask recommendations for fully vaccinated people, we will continue to follow CDC safety guidelines for health care sett...ings and locations The CDC’s guidance states that all people, including those who have been vaccinated, should continue to wear their masks and practice physical distancing when working in or visiting a health care setting. Masks are still required at all Keck Medicine of USC locations for the safety of our staff, patients and visitors. We appreciate everyone’s continued cooperation with these important public health measures. Learn more: http://ow.ly/9ji350EOzVd
