If you have any extra baby monitors lying around, you might be able to help front line workers in the health sector combat COVID-19.
Cambridge Memorial Hospital is said to be in need of baby monitors for better communication in treatment planning.
"When a patient is in an Airborne Infection Isolation Room (AIIR) with closed doors, and health care workers are wearing enhanced PPE, it can be very difficult to be heard or call for help if your hands are busy," says Paul, a health advocate Tweets.
His initial Tweet asking for the two-way communicating baby monitors was retweeted by the Cambridge Memorial Hospital Foundation.
In a follow up Tweet, Paul says he is helping to set up a box near the entrance to CMH's emergency department and security office.
