What’s VA’s current policy on masks?
We follow CDC and local guidelines for masks. Your safety is our top priority.
Here’s our current mask policy for different VA locations:
At VA health care facilities: Everyone who enters our hospitals, clinics, and Vet Centers must wear a mask that covers their mouth and nose. If you’re fully vaccinated, our staff will tell you if it’s safe to remove your mask during your visit.
When indoors at other VA locations: Each location will adjust rules for masking as needed. For example, if your county has high levels of coronavirus transmission, everyone will need to wear a mask.
Be prepared to wear a mask at any VA location. Our staff will explain the location’s current mask rules when you arrive.
You can also choose to wear a mask at any time. And if you have COVID-19 symptoms or you’ve had a recent positive test or recent contact with someone with COVID-19, you should wear a mask.
Note: We continue to screen all visitors to our health facilities and some other locations for COVID-19 symptoms. We also continue to follow other safety guidelines.
