Family caregivers are an integral but largely unrecognised part of the health team in many countries. Although health professionals should be the main carers of patients in the hospital setting, due to staff shortages, family members can often end up playing critical roles in supporting this care. However, they often do not have knowledge of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) techniques and so risk transmitting infections when caring for their relatives in hospital.
Kansas City area doesn t have appetite for mask mandate. Is a mask advisory enough? Robert A. Cronkleton, The Kansas City Star
Jul. 19 Kansas City area health officials are hoping that last week s joint health advisory again recommending members of the public wear masks will serve as a wake-up call for people to protect themselves from COVID-19.
They wanted the advisory to give clear guidance on how people should protect themselves and people around them. The data continues to support that the best way to protect yourself from severe COVID disease is to become fully vaccinated, said Janell Friesen, a spokeswoman for the Unified Government s Public Health Department. Therefore, we strongly urge those who are not vaccinated to do so immediately.
