In an effort to maintain a safe working environment, USA Health employees are being provided two cloth face masks. The USA Health-branded masks are being distributed by department managers this week to all employees of USA Health, according to Belinda Baggett, director of volunteer services.
The new masks are navy and feature a white USA Health logo on the front. They are made of soft cotton and should be machine washed and dried on low heat daily.
All employees are required to wear a facility-provided mask or a privately-owned mask at all times while in any USA Health facility, according to USA Health’s universal masking protocol. Failure to comply with the protocol may result in progressive discipline up to and including termination.
The new masks are not for use in the care of COVID-19 positive patients, and patients in isolation or under investigation, which requires additional personal protective equipment.
Employees who do not receive their masks by the week of Aug. 10-14 should contact their department manager.
