Influenza Masking Update for April 2025

Dear Colleagues,

Respiratory disease activity overall has continued to decline, with influenza at low levels for the last few weeks. Sacramento County Public Health is lifting the masking mandate as of April 18, 2025. Effective today, UC Davis Health will no longer require masking. Health care workers with underlying health conditions, including those who are immunocompromised, should still consider wearing a mask.
