While the coronavirus pandemic has forced many people to work from home, health care workers don t have that option.
Many employees at Aiken Regional Medical Centers have been working daily on the frontline of the pandemic response since it began. While there have been changes in protocols, these employees have stepped up to the plate to help fight against COVID-19.
Brady Lucas, a registered nurse at ARMC, said it s hard for him to imagine the old way of doing things.
âI canât even remember not wearing a mask at work, Lucas said. I canât remember just little things, like being able to walk freely into a patientâs room and not having to think twice about it or walking into the hospital without getting my temperature checked. Itâs all normal now.
