The FHA has formally requested particulars about our allegations, seeking a deeper understanding of our claims to prepare their defence adequately. Here's a detailed look into their request and our stance:
FHA's Inquiry for Details: FHA has asked for specifics regarding how I, as the representative complainant and a member of the high-risk class for severe COVID-19, fit within the class, including the nature of any disabilities. They're seeking information on whether I was directly advised against wearing an N95 mask at their facilities, the details of such incidents, and any accommodation requests I made regarding mask usage.
Clarification on FHA Policy: They're probing for the exact policy we're challenging, aiming to understand the basis of our complaint about the ban on N95 respirators for patients and visitors, which we argue forces high-risk individuals into a dangerous dilemma: face heightened risk of COVID-19 or forgo necessary healthcare.
