A man says his 87-year-old father was potentially exposed to COVID-19 in an aged care home where a healthcare worker did six shifts despite having coronavirus symptoms.
However, he said there was a still a"big question mark" over how many other residents could have been infected over the six days. "I know staff have been stressed, I know with the casualisation of the workforce there is a subconscious drive to go to work, but it's not good enough." Anglicare Sydney said it was advised by the NSW Public Health Unit late on Saturday night that a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
Covid19NSW Get ready for the influx and rise in numbers. This crap is happening everywhere.
Because of casual, gig labour we will unfortunatley see more infections. All health care workers should be paid if they are sick.
Let me guess - a casual worker with no sick leave entitlement?
Do not blame a nurse or carer! Sadly these people are so underpaid. They need to work to support their family, and they do an amazing job for a pittance to take care of your parents / relatives! Do not let the govt use a carer to play the blame game!! MoreMoneyForCarers PayMore
These aged care homes use the cheapest labour that don't get paid their pittance if they don't turn up for work. So who is to blame?
