Most Chicago hospitals use similar practices and Covid denialism is much less common here. When communicating, you have to be honest that it’s about risk reduction not perfection. Don’t be afraid of a little nuance. People are smart!

We use masking when community prevalence levels of any resp virus are high. We start with hcw masking for direct care and increase screening of visitors and encourage masking for them and we track hai resp virus cases. We have vanishingly low transmission in the hospital with this plan.
