COVID-19

Thanks to the widespread availability and effectiveness of vaccines and booster shots, data shows our facilities and communities continue to have low rates of severe disease from COVID-19. In light of this, masks will be optional for patients, visitors, students, and employees in most areas across Ochsner Health, effective Wednesday, June 8 at 7 a.m., except for those working with our most immunocompromised patients in transplant units, hematology/oncology units, infusion areas, NICUs and selected patients in ICUs. Students with school-approved vaccine exemptions and deferrals will need to wear hospital grade masks. Anyone wishing to wear a mask is encouraged to do so.
