Update

Effective Tuesday February 6, 2025, students, faculty and staff are no longer required to mask in direct interactions with clients and each other in the IMPACT Practice Center client sessions, data capture and other activities with research participants, and simulation and instructional lab learning activities.

The level of respiratory virus illness has returned to the mild/moderate phase of the Mass General Brigham and MGH Institute’s Respiratory Virus Mitigation Policy.

We are still in the respiratory virus season and will continue to monitor the rate of infection and adjust the policy as needed.

Access WorkWell (formerly COVID Pass)

When you visit the app, it will say "for employees" but it is also for students of MGH IHP.

When to use WorkWell

Students/employees should use WorkWell for:

  • Symptom reporting: if you develop new viral respiratory symptoms, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, use WorkWell to report any of these symptom(s) and seek Return-To-Work/School guidance.
  • Reporting a positive test: any new positive tests for COVID-19 should be submitted through the app. 

 

Testing for Students, Faculty and Staff

Regardless of your vaccination status, if you have symptoms of COVID-19, stay home and get tested. Refrain from coming to campus and contact MGH Occupational Health Services (617-726-2217; when prompted, students should press option 3) for assessment or testing guidance.

Update

As of June 16, 2025, MGB no longer requires the COVID-19 vaccine.
