In order to protect against all respiratory viruses, Santa Clara County and other local counties are once again mandating, as of today, 11/1/2023, that anyone entering a health care facility must once again wear a protective face mask (surgical mask N95, or KN95--not cloth or scarves) in public patient areas. This will extend through the end of March 2024.

Several Bay Area health departments issue new mask mandates, amid rising COVID cases Health officials in several Bay Area counties have issued new mask mandates as COVID-19 cases continued to rise and in preparation for the upcoming respiratory virus season.

I only just learned this from a patient yesterday, but thought it was worth passing along. You can be paid or reimbursed under health flexible spending accounts (health FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs) or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) for the face masks you or your kids use for protection against COVID. These have been reimbursable expenses since 2021. However, if an amount is paid or reimbursed under a health FSA, HSA, HRA or any other health plan, it is not deductible for tax purposes (no double dipping).
