New data shows 70 per cent health care staff infected at work | Sky News AustraliaNew data has indicated about 70 per cent of health care workers infected with the coronavirus contracted the disease at their workplace.\n\nVictoria Chief Medical Officer Andrew Wilson confirmed the statistic on Tuesday, saying “poor infection practice has probably been the main driver of infection.” \n\nHealth personnel made up a significant portion of the state’s active caseload, with about 70 per cent of infected frontline workers sourced to nurses and about nearly half of those from aged care settings. \n\nThe new figure is a drastic leap from a previous claim by the state’s chief health officer who said only about 15 per cent of health workers caught the virus in their work setting. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia So would it be safe to say that Health Care Workers were a source of community transmission Sounds about right. It’s the opposite of what the Vic government said so it must be true. Did any of them die? 🤔
