N. Wisc / U.P. – Patients, visitors and staff will no longer be required to wear masks in most situations across all Aspirus Health facilities starting Monday. Masks will be made available for any patients and visitors who choose to wear them. Masks will also continue to be worn by Aspirus staff. Aspirus is also adjusting additional guidelines in advance of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency ending on May 11. The number of patient visitors will no longer be restricted unless necessary in specific circumstances related to patient care or safety and COVID-19 testing will no longer be required for patients prior to hospital admission if they have no COVID-19 symptoms. Patients can continue to utilize Aspirus for any COVID-related health needs, including vaccination and testing for which appointments can be made through the MyAspirus website or mobile app. The Aspirus COVID-19 call center also remains available.
