Anxiety has been sky-high during the pandemic, and one security expert says the healthcare system sometimes feels the brunt of it all. Anyone can imagine the stress a person feels when they have a loved one in the hospital. Now imagine being that person and not being able to say goodbye to that loved one who is dying.

Cinfio says having a plan in place, specifically preparing for potential threats, is a must.
