US hospitals tell staff to keep quiet about coronavirus working conditions
Apr 3, 2020
US hospitals are warning their employees to keep their mouths shut about their working conditions amid the coronavirus — or risk being fired.
“Hospitals are muzzling nurses and other health care workers in an attempt to preserve their image. It’s outrageous,” Ruth Schubert, a spokeswoman for the Washington State Nurses Association, told Bloomberg News.
She said the workers — who are toiling on the front lines of the deadly pandemic, many times without the appropriate safety gear — “must have the ability to tell the public what is really going on inside the facilities where they are caring for Covid-19 patients.”
