Operative words

1. Healthcare settings: a. Personnel: After careful review and consideration of CDC recommendations for face masks in healthcare settings regulated by the Department, I hereby adopt such recommendations, imposing them as requirements, where applicable. Accordingly, all personnel, regardless of vaccination status, in a healthcare setting... shall wear an appropriate face mask

Enforcement

Notes

Companion to the 2.60 determination, addressed to covered entities' personnel under 2.61(g)

Retrieval note

File slug says 'HCW Vaccination'; the document is the masking determination under 2.61; the vaccination mandate itself is the rule (Ex. NY-071).
