Medical staff to be wearing correct medical masks to stop spread of Covid-19
Speaking on behalf of all front line workers we need the correct masks to be worn at all times to stop the spread of this virus. Masks need to be provided for all staff at all times. Not just when a suspected or confirmed patient as many show no symptoms.
I would like parliament to understand without our heath care workers being protected there is no health care system its as simple as that.
All front line staff need to be wearing protective masks at all time. We are told to social distance however front line workers can not self distance as we need to provide care. We all need the correct masks to be worn everyday by every member of staff. Help us to help all patients.
