PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE RECOMMENDS MASKS IN HEALTHCARE: The MD respiratory virus hospitalization rate is updated on Fridays. Yesterday's numbers continue to keep us above the threshold at which @MDHealthDept recommends universal masking in healthcare. tinyurl.com/3cx7um4b

UPDATE: Johns Hopkins Medicine emailed patients this morning that universal masking will be reinstated in all of their locations in MD, effective tomorrow. hopkinsmedicine.org/coronavirus/... We urge JHM to maintain universal masking at all times, not only on a short-term basis.

We urge each Maryland legislator to safely start their Session today by wearing well-fitted, high-quality masks while on the grounds. MD is in the highest #COVID19 wave since Jan 2022 and the respiratory virus hospitalization rate has been Very High. #MDGA24

Join us TOMORROW, Weds, January 10 at 12:15 pm ET for a phone bank to call our representatives to support an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza. Registration link in bio.

As more and more hospitals implement masking protections, our communities ask: When will @HopkinsMedicine @GBMCHealthcare @holycrosshealth @MedStarHealth @MeritusHealth act? How many of us have to get COVID preventably first? What are they waiting for?

Update: @umms implements masking protections in patient care areas as of 1/8/24. We urge @umms to expand this policy to include all spaces. Elevators, hallways, and waiting rooms in @umms need to be safe for patients & staff, too. www.umms.org/patients-vis...

Masking protections must include entire facilities, not just select areas. "'The airborne viruses are viable for hours, and they travel around where the air travels throughout the building,' said Roselie Bright, an epidemiologist at @CovidSafeMD." tinyurl.com/mwbs23a7

.@MDHealthDept currently recommends universal masking in healthcare, but many major providers like @HopkinsMedicine @MedStarHealth @umms are not implementing these protections. Use our toolkit to urge hospitals to act to protect patients & staff: tinyurl.com/326czv58

LifeBridge Health has reinstated masking protections in its facilities! Thank you @LBHealth for taking this action to protect patients and staff - universal masking makes care safer and more accessible. www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne...
