10/30/2020--- Our members are scared for themselves and their patients and they are deeply troubled by the perceived lack of a clear plan to control this outbreak. For example, our members and WSNA have asked the hospital for its plan to test employees and patients - so far, no one in hospital administration has been able to articulate a clear testing strategy, even for those employees who work on the two units where infections have occurred. Exposed nurses are being asked to continue working until a test returns with a positive result - meaning some nurses who are now testing positive have been continuing to work, exposing patients. We are concerned the CHI has not been following CDC guidance nor the September Hazard Alert, including practices such as allowing visitors to go unmasked. CHI's failure to protect its employees has now resulted in outbreaks at two of the system's hospitals.Source: Osha.gov | Receipt Date: 2020-10-30
