UPDATE: Mask requirements have been reinstated in hospitals in Illinois, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Hospitals in several other states including North Carolina and Washington are also considering reinstating their mask requirements due to the rise in COVID-19 cases.
"The rising number of COVID cases is forcing a new mask mandate for staffers at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

Employees must wear masks when in direct contact with patients starting (last) Friday."

cbsnews.com/chicago/news/u…
"An increase in COVID-19 cases has prompted Baystate Health to reimplement their mask mandate and that started on Friday. Now, anyone entering into patient rooms or patient care areas must have a mask on at all times."

It is wrong to ask people to unmask, even briefly. COVID-19 is airborne. There have been several documented cases of COVID-19 transmission happening after being exposed for only a few seconds. People have the right to protect themselves by wearing a mask continuously indoors. 🧵
"It took just seconds for a person to be infected with COVID as a stranger walked past them while shopping. Aus health officials are warning it no longer takes up to 15 mins to pass on the deadly virus. It can be a fleeting moment of just five to 10 secs"

"CCTV footage and her Octopus card transaction history showed that she went through a tunnel at a Mei Foo MTR exit at almost the same time – just nine seconds apart – as the two people last Friday."
