MARYLAND - University of Maryland Medical System facilities are requiring masks in patient care areas.

UM Shore Regional Health says the measure is being implemented to protect patients due to an increase in respiratory illness.

Visitors not in compliance will not be allowed to enter patient rooms, according to University of Maryland officials.
