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.

Fucking finally.
We’re so scared of asking these fucking babies to put a bit of cloth over their face so they’re not a fucking vector of disease.
I guess Americans love being the diseased filth they are. Carlin was right, as usual.
I’m never going into a hospital without a mask again. It’s just common sense.
Hospitals in California have had this in place for a month or so now. All persons in the hospital must wear masks.
Some of us never stopped masking. :)
I was not aware hospitals ever stopped.
I definitely would wear one if I was going to the hospital
Everyone should be wearing a mask in a hospital 100% of the time regardless of Covid.

Everyone has to wear a mask because everyone can contract and transmit COVID, and some people who have it don’t appear sick. Just like you have to wash your hands even if you don’t seem to have typhoid.
I’m betting the person you responded to doesn’t wash their hands either.
