1/ This was a public email sent to all of Stanford healthcare from our CMO last week
With the #Omicron surge, we have had more healthcare worker infections than at *any week* in the entire pandemic
And this is at an awesome hospital w/ excellent testing capacity!

2/ Just imagine what the numbers are like at other hospitals, esp ones in big crowded cities
I doubt most hospitals are doing as much staff testing as we are, which means many HCW infections are going undiagnosed
We saw this all of last year too
This is a real issue

3/ Mandating N95 masks for all healthcare workers right now makes sense— it can stop occult transmission between patients & staff
This is literally a no-brainer policy with insane community incidence of #Omicron!
Every single hospital should be doing this, now.
