Staff at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in New York City were seen disposing of their gowns and caps and other protective wear in a sidewalk trash can on Thursday after wheeling bodies out of the hospital and loading them into a refrigerated truck.
The hospital has been treating patients with the highly infectious new virus. Hospital workers typically wear protective gear when handling patients suffering from the respiratory disease. Reuters was unable to confirm that the bodies were those of coronavirus victims.Hospital administrators could not be reached for comment after multiple emails and calls to the public affairs office and main phone line.
After placing the bodies inside a refrigerated truck, they removed their gowns and other protective gear and put them into a nearby outdoor trash can and wheeled the beds back inside. A spokesman for New York City’s health department declined to comment on what Reuters had seen but said each hospital should have procedures outlined for donning and doffing of protective gear.
