"Seattle Doctors Urge Mandatory Masks for Healthcare Workers Amidst Resurgence"
Morris Brown College in Atlanta has become the first college since the government declared the pandemic over to mandate masks for students and staff due to reports of positive cases among students. Meanwhile, government doctors and public health experts in Seattle are calling for face coverings to be made compulsory in all healthcare facilities to reduce the risk of Covid transmission among patients and healthcare workers. Hospitalizations from Covid are increasing in the US, and concerns about the highly-mutated new variant are growing. The debate around masks continues, with some arguing for their effectiveness while others raise concerns about hindering communication and children's development.
