Keep in mind those same workers need to take extra precautions to not transfer infections from one patient to another.

Also, there are infections brought in by these workers. Not saying this is the case here, just that it happens.

I’m not against healthcare workers. I used to be one.

Why ‘superbugs’ thrive in hospitals From MRSA to norovirus, hospital infections remain a global problem. Here’s what they are, how they spread, and how to reduce risk.

The Air You Breathe Scientists are working on ways to figure out if and when the air in public places like airplanes and hospitals contains dangerous microbes.

U01.03.022 Staphylococcus epidermidis Staphylococcus epidermidis is a Gram-positive, catalase-positive, coagulase-negative cocci that is part of the normal skin flora. It commonly causes infections associated with prosthetic devices, catheters, and heart valves due to its ability to form biofilms. It is typically novobiocin-sensitive and an important cause of nosocomial infections.

Never a good time to bump infection control … and certainly not now in #US

Infection control guidance needed to address emerging concerns.
“If pathogen can degrade plastic, it could compromise plastic-containing medical devices such as sutures, implants, stents or wound dressings - obviously negatively impacting patient prognosis.”

WAKE UP! HOSPITAL-GIVEN INFECTIONS affect a 10% MORTALITY RATE! This means when u go in with something else, your hospital could let you catch something totally FROM THE HOSPITAL,and then 10% of you WILL DIE FROM THIS #nosocomial #infection. Criminal! #WearARespirator
“HAI have a 10% mortality rate”

No reason to think it’s very different in UK. Though here we make a particular point of infecting people who are already gravely ill in hospital. #nosocomial and such a smart move to turn ambulances into waiting rooms 🙄 www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...
