Work isolation (WI) requires you to do the following:
- Strict adherence to universal masking requirements ensuring your mask is well-fitted.
- Use of a respirator/N95 instead of a procedure mask if you work in a patient care area.
- Maintaining physical distancing of greater than 6 feet from others whenever possible
