Tri County Hematology and Oncology Associates kindly request anyone coming to our facility to have facial covering and continue social distancing. It is for the safety of our patient community, especially who are immunocompromised. It is our intention to protect our patients from any unknown threats and complications that can occur. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
With the ever-changing landscape under the cloud of COVID-19, Tri County Hematology and Oncology Associates have been diligently adhering to the Ohio Department of Health and the CDC. Under Stephanie McCloud, Director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) mask coverings lift order on June 2, 2021, our medical practice is an exemption to this order. Please refer to the Director’s Order at https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/static/publicorders/rev-2nd-final-amended-do-soc-dist-remove-face-cover-21.pdf

NEW HEALTH ORDER
The Ohio Department of Health amended its remaining health order to conform to the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, which allows those who have been vaccinated to stop wearing masks. Under the CDC’s new guidance, those who have not been vaccinated should still wear a mask and socially distance.
Ohio’s order reflects the CDC’s recommendation that everyone wear masks when in a healthcare setting, when traveling on public transportation (including airplanes), and when at a business or employer that chooses to require masks.
The CDC recommendations make clear that businesses will be able to choose for themselves whether they continue to require masks in their premises. If a business chooses to require masking for employees and customers, that is permitted under the CDC guidance and Ohio’s order.
As advised by the CDC, Ohio’s order also continues to require masking in congregate settings, such as our medical practice.
