Trinity Health Of New England Recommends Masking in Patient Care Areas

HARTFORD, Conn. — With safety as a top priority and in light of seasonal, respiratory viral illnesses, Trinity Health Of New England strongly recommends that colleagues, patients, and visitors wear a mask in patient-facing clinical settings throughout its hospitals and ambulatory locations.

Designed to support the health of patients and visitors, as well as colleagues, this recommendation comes as a result of the recent uptick in cases of upper respiratory tract illnesses that have been reported across Trinity Health Of New England facilities in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
