Mayo Clinic continues to support patients and address their health care concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have medical needs, please do not delay seeking care, whether it is COVID-19 related or not. Mayo Clinic has taken precautions to ensure we can safely care for you through both in-person and virtual care.
Optional masking in most patient areas
As of Monday, April 10, masking is optional for patients, visitors and staff in most patient care areas.
- Mayo Clinic has experienced consistently low rates of hospitalizations, mortality and community transmission levels.
- Masking is still required in settings where patients are at the greatest risk.
- High-risk immunocompromised patients will be notified to wear a mask while they are at Mayo Clinic.
- This decision was made with careful consideration of our patients' needs and safety, and we remain dedicated to providing the highest quality of care possible.
Please note that before scheduling an appointment, you must notify your care team if you have had a positive COVID-19 test in the past 30 days.
Attending your in-person clinic appointments
- We encourage visitors to stay at home. If needed, up to two visitors will be allowed to accompany you in our outpatient clinics.
- We ask that you not bring children under age 13 unless they are actively receiving care in the clinic setting.

Hospital and emergency department
Visitors are welcome in Mayo Clinic Hospital, the Emergency Department, and most care areas. Due to room size or patient care needs, care teams may limit the number of visitors permitted in a patient's room. As well, overnight visitors may be limited.
