Some good progress here in NYC: New York Health + Hospitals (NYC's public hospital system, and the largest municipal health care system in the US) has reinstated universal masking in all areas of their facilities.

Thank you to all the advocates who have pushed for this. Organizing works!

@luckytran Today I met a neighbor at an outdoor cafe. She confirmed that she works at Elmhurst Hospital, and the staff have been ordered to #WearAMask. I don't think she said anything about patients!
