Dr. Leandro Mena, a clinician-researcher and chair of the Department of Population Health Science at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, said the health departments’ instructions to the public often centered on just calling a doctor if worried or they had signs and symptoms of infection. “For me there was a little bit of a problem with the messaging and lack of awareness,” Mena said.
