COVID in the Break Room?

Published

Apparently in my hospital, the majority of employee covid cases are coming from staff-to-staff transmission, not patient-to-staff.

Our employer has encouraged us to wear our masks in the break room, but...how are we supposed to eat? On my unit, social distancing isn't really possible, since we have 30 staff per shift with a tiny break room. Also, nobody is wiping down the table with Clorox before or after they eat.

Is anybody else getting this feedback from their admin? I honestly don't know what the solution is.

Our break rooms have been decimated. Most chairs and tables removed. Signs up everywhere about how many are allowed in the room at once and warnings to keep our distance from one another.
