Summary
Hospital staff now find themselves toeing the line between patient safety and care and staffing shortages when trying to decide when it's safe to return to work after a Covid infection.“You want to be as safe as possible and reduce the spread of the virus, but you don’t want your health care infrastructure to totally break down or suffer too much from unneeded isolation,” said Franklin Rosenblat, an infectious disease doctor in Michigan. “We don’t pay as much attention to workers as we pay to other forms of investment.”Though Butler said she was fortunate enough to return to work when she felt comfortable, she’s concerned that as cases rise and more health care workers test positive, people will get back to work sooner than they should.“My concerns are that if a health care worker is sick and they’re informed about the new return-to-work policy, that they may feel pressured to come back sooner than they’re physically able,” she said.
