Emergency room and outpatient clinic appointments

This updated policy will go into effect on October 20: One patient visitor or support person is preferred in select outpatient areas, however up to two visitors/support people may be allowed. Outpatient areas where two visitors are allowed include office visits. Some outpatient areas still allow only allow one patient visitor or support person. These areas include the emergency department, surgical or procedural rooms, or clinics.

Mask policy  

As part of our continued efforts to protect our patients, visitors, staff, and the community, facility-issued face masks are required in all Mass General Brigham locations, including in inpatient areas, emergency departments, outpatient settings, and peri-procedural areas. All visitors over two years old must wear a mask.

  • When you arrive at our facilities, you will be given a procedural or surgical facemask to wear. If you have a face covering from home, you will be asked to replace it with the facemask we provide to wear during your stay or visit. Patients and visitors who choose to wear their own face covering must wear the facility-issued facemask on top.
  • Inpatients must wear the facility-issued facemask while outside of their room and when staff or visitors enter the room.
  • There may be some locations where you could remove your facility issued facemask, for example, to eat or drink in our cafeterias.
