Winneshiek Medical Center is now asking all visitors to wear masks

Anyone entering Winneshiek Medical Center for an appointment, urgent care or emergency care, or for any other reason is now being asked to wear their own mask, scarf or face covering.

The medical center says it is making the change in order to conserve its own masks for use by health care workers.

For anyone who does not have anything that can cover their mouth and nose, some masks are available at the main entrance and emergency entrance screening areas.
