Hands-Only CPR:
this program is not for professional rescuers. The heart Association posted this on their website;

On March 31, an important advisory statement on “hands-only” (compression-only) CPR was published in Circulation. This statement clarifies the 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC, which included the recommendation that laypersons – or bystanders – should perform hands-only CPR if they are unable or unwilling to provide rescue breaths.

the last statement clearly tells us who this program is intended for.
Yes, EMT's & First Responders must still do mouth-to-mouth.
