Advisory: COVID-19 and Flu Increases, Consider Masking in Healthcare Facilities

Please see the attached advisory. Over the past several weeks, there have been substantial increases in cases of influenza and COVID-19, at least partially driven by an emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant, and to recommend that healthcare and residential facilities advocate strongly for the use of masks within their facility to prevent transmission and ensure a healthy workforce. Thank you.
