“It was a very scary experience as a parent and I’m only one of thousands of parents who are finding themselves in this position right now ... I think we really need a renewed sense of urgency,” in limiting virus spread, she said. Impacts on individuals and the health-care system need to be examined, she said, with any decision based on “the totality of what we see on the ground and the potential benefit that would be derived from having a very specific mask mandate.”
