 Infection Prevention Reminder

Although the numbers are down, Temple hospital is still caring for COVID patients. We must not become careless with our well-honed preventive measures such as correct use of PPE, hand washing, and social distancing. Staff/Volunteers must be reminded of the importance of these measures, and remaining vigilant with them now and in the months to come, until the virus is declared no longer a threat to public health.
 
Actions Requested:
  • All staff/volunteers must now wear eye protection and a mask when around patients; some patients may end up being COVID positive.
  • Do not let your guard down during breaks and meals! Employees/Volunteers must wear masks when not eating or drinking, and should not sit closer than six feet from colleagues—especially during breaks and casual conversations, when they are least mindful of the dangers of exposure to the virus.
  • If you notice consistent failure to properly wear PPE, including masks and eye protection, notify the employee’s supervisor or manager.
