Frontline workers booted from hotels while outbreak continues at Holy Family Hospital
“Throwing them out like that, it’s heartless,” said Aaron Yang, a Vancouver man whose partner was told to pack her bags and leave her hotel room by 8 a.m. Thursday morning before starting her morning shift.
He said she was able to extend her stay at the hotel until Saturday, but she must pay out-of-pocket and come up with a new plan to protect her family.Article content continued The intent is to “minimize contact of Holy Family Hospital staff who may become infected with COVID-19 from exposing others, including staff and guests at the hotels.”“Staff have also been educated on how to reduce exposure in their households and supported in continuing with precautions such as hand washing, changing clothes after returning from work and to self-isolate if symptomatic,” said the statement, which was provided in response to a Postmedia request.
