Dr. Mark Kaufman, chief medical officer for the Wisconsin Hospital Association, reported care providers in the state are concerned they may not have enough high-quality respirator masks for their workers if a large number of COVID-19 patients require hospitalization, according to a report from WisBusiness.com.
N95 respirator masks protect health workers from becoming infected while caring for patients with the coronavirus. In the meantime, hospitals are making changes to ensure they have enough capacity, supplies, and staff to handle the outbreak.
