<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I an attempt to address the surge of patience in the Emergency Department at UMass, the University campus is attempting to open up hallway beds again. However because of COVID concerns they are now asking all EMS personnel entering the Emergency Department to wear an N95, not just a surgical mask or face covering. This is for the protection of EMS personnel and is effective immediately. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.</p>
