Masking in Healthcare Interview on WPR's The Morning Show, 7am Thursday 6/1
Masking is basic infection control that protects all of us
Tomorrow morning (6/1) at 7am Central US time I will be interviewed on The Morning Show with Kate Archer Kent on masking in healthcare. You can listen to the Ideas Network live online. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness for this important issue.
Take action to support masking in healthcare:
Sign and share our petition to reinstate masking at UW Health.
Submit public comment to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to ask for accountability for healthcare-acquired COVID infections through data tracking as well as masking requirements.
Ask your senators to have Medicare track healthcare-acquired COVID infections and require masking in healthcare.
Wear a mask, ideally a well-fitting N95 respirator, when you enter healthcare facilities.
Ask your healthcare providers to mask, which can be requested as an Americans with Disabilities Act reasonable accommodation.
Thank you for your support of healthcare masking! 😷
