Please remind everyone that EMS rooms at the hospitals are not safe spaces in terms of spreading the virus – nowhere is. We are seeing increasing numbers of cases of COVID-19 in public safety personnel, including law enforcement, fire, and EMS.
COVID-19 can be spread by both pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic persons. EVERYONE IN EMS ROOMS SHOULD DISTANCE THEMSELVES TO THE DEGREE POSSIBLE, AND EVERYONE IN THE EMS ROOM SHOULD BE WEARING A SURGICAL/PROCEDURAL MASK (not a cloth face covering). Do not overcrowd the EMS Rooms.
Remember too that eating in the vicinity of others increases risk of spreading the disease.
