(KLZA)-- Nemaha County Hospital CEO Marty Fattig noted in his daily update Monday that all employees of the hospital in Auburn are asked to follow a new CDC recommendation to wear a cloth mask when out in public.
Fattig says this will help set a good example for others in the community.
In addition, as of Tuesday morning, all patients entering the Nemaha County Hospital will be asked to wear a mask while they are in the building.
Since there is not an adequate supply of masks, employees will not be asked to wear a surgical mask in the building. However, employees are to continue to practice social distancing whenever possible.
The hospital currently has an adequate supply of Personal Protective Equipment if used conservatively. Like all other hospitals, everything possible to obtain more supplies is being done. UV lights are being used to decontaminate N95 masks.
