As respiratory illness season arrives, mask mandates in Bay Area healthcare facilities aim to curb the spread of illnesses like COVID-19, RSV, and influenza.
Kismet Baldwin-Santana emphasized that individuals can take personal precautions outside healthcare settings, recommending masks in situations like hospital visits or caregiving.
She compared taking multiple health precautions to a 'swiss cheese effect,' suggesting that while no single measure is perfect, together they enhance protection against sickness.
COVID-19 remains prevalent, and Baldwin-Santana stresses the importance of ongoing vigilance and health practices, stating, 'COVID is here to stay.'
