In November 2022, our pediatric hospital replaced the requirement for universal masking of all healthcare personnel and visitors in all clinical buildings with a requirement for masking only during patient encounters. Following this change, we observed an immediate, substantial, and sustained increase in healthcare-associated respiratory viral infections.
2022 年 11 月，我们的儿童医院将所有医护人员和访客在所有临床建筑中普遍佩戴口罩的要求改为仅在患者就诊时佩戴口罩。在这一改变之后，我们观察到与医疗保健相关的呼吸道病毒感染立即、大幅且持续增加。
