Vulnerable to COVID-19, patient calls retreat of hospital mask mandates a ‘betrayal’

Some doctors are urging the return of masking mandates at hospitals. Dr. Kaitlin Sundling is a UW Health pathologist and an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Medicine and Public Health. She is trying to gather public support for overturning UW Health’s decision in early May to scale back its mask mandates.

“It really is a mistake to take that protection away and to put both patients and health care workers at risk,” she said.
