As COVID-19 and other respiratory infections rise across the country, some major health systems are bringing back mask requirements to stop the spread of infections.
This week, Mass General Brigham, the largest health system in Massachusetts, said it will require masking for health care staff who interact directly with patients in clinical care locations starting Jan. 2.
Patients and visitors will be “strongly encouraged” to wear a facility-issued mask. Masks will not be required for staff in hallways and common areas.
If you’re sick, wear a fucking mask, its not hard
In high traffic places like supermarkets and stuff, I still wear a mask because…who knows.
I’ve gotten far less sick, far less often the last four years than any other year of my life, which is great.
