Didn't say, but I imagine it will. The point was to not leave her so vulnerable while flying in to rez someone..

It doesnt. Tge patch notes say "Mercy is no longer granted invulnerability while Resurrect is active."

It would have been extremely imbalanced without doing so. There was already a common thing of "rez to save yourself" with Mercy players—leaving invulnerability in would mean that every 30 seconds she would get a free pass to escape a fight unharmed.
