Bringing a symptomatic, COVID-19-positive worker back on the job is “completely unacceptable” and runs counter to public health recommendations, Julie Bouchard of the Fédération Interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec said.
Bouchard said she’s only heard of about 10 sick health workers affected so far, adding that the practice seems to be limited to a small number of employers. However, she said she worries more health facilities may try to do the same as the network grapples with serious staff shortages.Article content
