Health care workers in Ohio test positive for COVID-19 at an alarming rate, but hospitals won’t say where they work.
Thoman said the information wouldn’t scare off nurses and other hospital employees, because they already know the risks and are doing their jobs anyway.
They do, however, say they are following state and federal guidelines to keep their employees safe. “Hospitals are taking every precaution,” said Christa Hyson, spokeswoman for the Health Collaborative, a 30-hospital planning consortium for the Cincinnati region. “If you have any symptoms, you are immediately sent home.”
Health care workers understand conditions aren’t ideal and that everyone, including hospital executives, are struggling to keep ahead of the pandemic, said Deborah Arms, president of the Ohio Nurses Association. But she said more openness about the scope of the problem would help, not hurt.
