5 hospitals quarantining workers amid coronavirus

At Kirkland, Wash.-based EvergreenHealth, nurses reported to the Washington State Nurses Association that they were told to self-quarantine but then were called back to their jobs. Mary Shepler, RN, BSN, the chief nursing officer of EvergreenHealth, told The New York Times that after quarantining some virus-exposed workers, the organization determined the extent of the quarantine was unrealistic because it left workforce shortages. Nurses who were asymptomatic were brought back into work.
