ZEELAND, Mich. â A Holland woman is frustrated with her employer, who is not accommodating her medical condition.
She recently got pneumonia and cannot wear a mask for her entire shift. She has the doctorâs note and the voice to prove it.
But Gentex basically told her that a face shield was a no-go. Thatâs when she contacted the FOX 17 Problem Solvers.
STRUGGLING TO BREATHE
âIf COVID wasnât happening, my job does not require this face mask. So, if I didnât have to wear it, Iâd be working,â said Bhree Layton, who s had asthma since she was 18.
