[HFDlist] Fwd: Important info for entering University ER

[Ethan Naiman]

  Please see the attached memo from our Medical Director requesting  
the addition of Protective Eyewear upon entering the ED.
 
  "In addition, _effective at 6pm on November 10, 2020_, until further  
notice, the University ED will begin to place non-PUI patients into  
the corridors.  This decision has been made to address patient flow  
challenges within the department.  ALL STAFF ENTERING THE  
DEPARTMENT must wear _N-95 masks_ and _eye protection_.  Signage has  
been placed at all entrances as a reminder."
