BREAKING NEWS---Three Waitakere Hospital staff test positive for COVID-19
The staff members had been working on a ward where COVID-positive patients from St Margaret’s Hospital and Rest Home were transferred due to staffing shortages at that facility. The DHB is now taking "immediate steps" to manage risks to patients at the hospital and other staff, Waitematā DHB Deputy CEO Dr Andrew Brant said. "As soon as we became aware of these cases, we moved quickly to respond and we will take all appropriate actions to minimise any risks," he explained. "It is unclear at this stage whether contact with those patients was the source of the staff contracting COVID-19 or whether any of the cases are linked. Full personal protective equipment (PPE) was made available and worn by staff at all times in this area. "The DHB has an auditing programme in place on the appropriate use of PPE for all COVID patients. An urgent review is in progress to understand how and where the infection may have occurred."
