“It is imperative that we continue to reduce the amount of people entering all buildings around the network as much as possible,” the Healthcare Network said in a message.  “The safety and health of our patients and employees is critical as COVID-19 volumes increase. We are relying on your assistance every day to help us carry out these safety restrictions across the network.”
