Is the use of plasma and ultraviolet systems for infection control being encouraged in hospitals?

On the proposed service agreements that might be reached with private hospitals, I am aware of patients who have been waiting for diagnostic tests in public hospitals. They have been sent to private hospitals without having been tested for Covid and have been sent back to await a Covid test. Can a protocol be put in place for such situations?

My third question concerns masks in national schools. Some states in America are now talking about children in national schools wearing masks. Is any of the evidence they are looking at being examined?
