Person is in direct contact with possible covid-19 patients in an ICU that has already had covid-19 patients occupying it, as well as being in close proximity of co-workers, including a co-worker in same department that has already tested positive for covid-19. Hospital is not only failing at protecting employees, patients and families by not having any virus abatement protocol, but also discouraging employees to wear N-95 masks, and threatening to fire employees.
What would be the hospital's rationale for requiring you to not wear a mask? I would want to talk with someone in management at the hospital or if they're not helpful I'd call the department of public health.
