To our greatest regret, we now have word that FDNY EMS workers are officially running out of masks. The protocol was, when an FDNY EMS worker is called, they are to wear a mask before and during the care of a patient. Now however, they are told to use these masks sparingly. Only using them once a patient begins to cough or sneeze. As many can imagine at that point a mask may be too late. But the city is running out and are mandating this new rule.
Once this came to our attention, action had to be taken. KN-95 masks have been donated to FDNY EMS workers. In hopes to keep our heroes safe, healthy, able to treat others, and come home with one less thing to worry about.
