Nurses renew calls for better protections, staffing, training

Nurses across the country and state have been continually calling for better access to protective garments like masks, gowns and face shields to safely work with coronavirus patients.

Jamille Cabacungan, a registered nurse at UCSF Medical Center, gives an overview of what conditions are like, including nurses being told to reuse face shields, masks, and gowns.
