>> Today, Boston announced it will be returning masks to all public schools for two weeks after winter break. ERIKA: I’m here to answer your question. SIMONE WILDES, Infectious Disease Specialist, SOUTH SHORE HEALTH. Thank you for joining us, Dr. What do Boston health experts see as driving this?>> Driving He’s Horror – Power But Wine – The driving force behind this is an increase in cases seen in fluids – COVID and flu. Hospitals are overwhelmed with a large number of different cases. ER faces a high volume of patients. So wearing a mask will help reduce the strain on the healthcare system and protect us all. Jessica: You should know that this is not called an obligation. I learned about one-way masking. Will our children and staff who are concerned about getting sick be adequately protected if someone is not wearing a mask? >> Yes, I would like to stress that it is not mandatory. We screen people for compliance with these requirements. One-way masking offers some protection, but is absolutely better if the party wears a mask. Wearing a mask not only protects you but also others. We are all striving to stay healthy and well as we head into 2023. ER
