U.S. hospital staff worry hospitals overloaded by coronavirus patients could become transmission points, according to 10 health care workers who responded to our survey
Doctors and nurses are increasingly worried they will become the spreaders of the coronavirus rather than the healers, as hospitals themselves become a hot spot for the pandemic.
Essential gear protecting providers is woefully inadequate and could remain so in some areas for weeks, despite assurances from federal officials that more specialized masks and surgical gowns are on their way. And because of a widespread lack of testing, frontline workers said they are treating patients without knowing if they’re infected — and that the coronavirus could spread not just to doctors and nurses, but security and cleaning staff as well.
And this wasn’t an isolated case. The physician reported that over the weekend clinicians — unprotected at the time due to the protective mask shortage — came into contact with patients whose tests came back positive.
