More details
As health care workers, we regularly see and treat patients whilst having very close contact with them. Many of us spend prolonged periods with patients, often in unventilated rooms, often with their family members present. Covid cases are increasing again, and many people are asymptomatic. This will lead to a lot of sickness amongst health care staff, and isolation periods for them and their families. Many of us also have vulnerable family members and we are just not comfortable with this.
