73 hospital workers test positive for Coronavirus as 318 others self-isolate in LondonÂ
Seventy-three NHS workers at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London have tested positive for Coronavirus while 318 others have been forced to self-isolate.
Â
Ex-WHO director Anthony Costello confirmed the news on Twitter, saying he had received an email informing him of the outbreak
Â
He said 73 out of 181 staff from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) had tested positive.
Â
'I received this circular to all staff from Great Ormond St hospital today. 73 out of 181 staff have tested positive and 318 staff members off sick.'
Â
An informant tells me "social distancing in the hospital is a fiction. Whatever the inadequacies of PPE for patient contact my concern is about the use of masks in non-clinical hospital areas. Many team members do handovers in a small office space without the use of masks.”Â
