Keep virtual as an option
 

The timing of the proposed return to required face to face visits for these medically complex individuals is extremely poor. It's very clear that COVID, flu, and RSV are ravaging our community presently. A rush to face to face visits is reckless and unnecessary as many individuals have benefitted from virtual visits, keeping safe and healthy and at home rather than in expensive hospitals, sick and in danger. Face to face visits remain an option presently, and there are other methods available to see individuals who are vulnerable if needed. Please reconsider rolling out this incredibly poorly timed requirement. Thank you.
