Kaiser Health News (8/12, Huetteman) reports public health officials have said that people who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 should stay home and not go to work, but healthcare workers who test positive for the virus are often pressured to return to work. According to Kaiser Health News, “hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities have flouted that simple guidance, pressuring workers who contract COVID-19 to return to work sooner than public health standards suggest it’s safe for them, their colleagues or their patients.”
