"Global pandemic," "COVID-19" and "mask" are all familiar terms
that have become a part of our daily (and sometimes hourly)
conversations with friends, family and colleagues. And,

implemented in some areas, your staff may be feeling fear, stress,
panic and anxiety. Developing a strategy to adequately address
these feelings in the healthcare space can be daunting. Long-term

along with their own personal troubles each day. Similarly, members
of nursing facility staffs are under immense pressure, not to
mention handling situations their profession has never experienced
before.
