COVID-19 ‘outbreak’ reported at Rhode Island hospital after officials allowed COVID-positive staffers to work

An outbreak of COVID-19 infections reportedly broke out inside a Rhode Island hospital after officials began allowing health care staff members who test positive for COVID to continue working.

After health care workers were fired last year for not being vaccinated against COVID-19, the Rhode Island Department of Health updated work restrictions for health care personnel who test positive for COVID.

The updated policy, which reflects guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, permit health care personnel to continue working under crisis situations if they test positive for COVID-19. The guidelines say “asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic” personnel may continue to work.

According to NBC News, the state-run Eleanor Slater Hospital in Rhode Island reported an outbreak of COVID-19 cases among patients after officials permitted asymptomatic staff members to continue working despite testing positive for COVID.- READ MORE
