Why were they banned from wearing masks??
I posted on PW weeks (months?) ago my daughter was banned from wearing a mask at Queen's in HNL because of a "nationwide mask shortage" even though she was a high risk group (pregnant).
The protocol at the time was that PPE including masks was changed between each patient. It's not like they wear one mask for their entire shift. If they see 100 patients in a day, that's 100 masks per staff member seeing each patient.
I don't know if the protocol has been changed, the daughter is working elsewhere now to protect herself and the unborn.
