Sunshine Coast Hospital acting chief executive Andrew McDonald thanked the staff for their actions.
"Our staff put their lives at risk to provide life-saving treatment to this patient who is thankfully now in a stable condition in the ward," he said in a statement."These staff put themselves in harm's way to help a patient in need. They put the patient's welfare before their own," Dr Young said. "Staff were required to act quickly and may not have been able to maintain full infection control while attending to the emergency."
I'm surprised they weren't lambasted by the public and locked up for 4 months hotel quarantine and fined. That is the general rhetoric amongst most of the Australian media and population in regards to Covid.
I’m surprised, that they were not wearing PPE while treating a COVID patient. But it is QLD health so anything can happen.

NO JUST NO PUT ON YOUR PPE BEFORE ENTERING A COVID PATIENTS ROOM KILLING HCW's IS NOT HEROIC THIS IS NOT PRAISE WORTHY THIS SHOULD NOT BE AMPLIFIED
JFC! The first thing you need to think of in an emergency situation is D for Danger. Protect yourself and your colleagues FIRST. Then treat the patient. Calling HCW heroes or praise for putting themselves in danger is ridiculous!
