Some positive news: Some New York hospitals are starting to reinstate their mask mandates due to rising COVID cases. Auburn Community Hospital and Upstate University Hospital reinstated their mask mandate this week, while NYC Health + Hospitals continued their mask mandate through the summer.

Doing my best to get my clinic to reinstate theirs too! Hopefully seeing others will encourage them a bit

Auburn is my local hospital, I don't know if I should cheer or cry. So glad my physical therapist starts every session with "you can take that off if you want, I don't care." Only one other person regularly masks there.

🤞 fingers crossed it spreads nationally. Folks must remember the beginning stages where we were all watching New York as an early indicator for the rest of the country.

Please take action and call your local hospitals to encourage them to do the right thing and reinstate their mask mandates due to high COVID spread. They need to hear from patients and staff. Use this contact list: http://bit.ly/NYHospitalContacts #KeepMasksInHealthcare

Thanks! I needed this. I’ve been very down about covid recently, especially today. Taking action will help.
