A temporary masking requirement has been implemented at University Medical Center’s children’s hospital in Lubbock, Texas, due to the ongoing measles outbreak on the South Plains. The restriction applies only to the 1st and 2nd floor common areas of the hospital, aiming to protect patients, staff, and visitors from infection. With over 200 reported cases in the region this week, health officials are bracing for a potential increase in cases, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in maintaining a safe environment for everyone involved.
