Los expertos dicen que es una solución necesaria para la escasez de personal, pero muchos trabajadores afirman que la política podría ser peligrosa.
In general, tests are able to reveal an Omicron infection, but enough virus needs to have reproduced and appear at sufficiently high levels in the nose or saliva to be detectable, health officials say.La decisión es “irresponsable y un gran error que pondrá en peligro la salud de todos”, comentó Rosanna Méndez, directora ejecutiva del SEIU 121RN, un sindicato que representa a los trabajadores del sur de California.
Pero, añadió, “cuando la carga de pacientes empiece a disminuir, y también la escasez de personal, deberíamos dejar de lado este enfoque extraordinario”.Though the severity of COVID-19 illness at hospitals is lower than last winter’s surge, sick staffers and massive demand for testing are causing problems.
Sin embargo, el cambio de política no tiene en cuenta la realidad de la atención diaria a los pacientes, que a menudo requiere “trabajar a centímetros de distancia”, destacó. En lugar de resolver el problema, podría agravarlo.Es más, dijo que el cambio expone no solo a los pacientes y trabajadores, sino también a sus seres queridos. Montoya cuida a su madre en casa.
“Los hospitales se encuentran entre la espada y la pared, ya que la escasez de personal y el aumento del volumen de pacientes son factores que contribuyen a la crisis”, afirma Spetz."¿Qué se hace en una situación así?”
