Reply to comment by MotherPierogi in Chinese doctors and nurses reportedly told to work while infected as Covid surges by Neo2199

i work for a major health care organization. we got 14 days paid if we got covid no questions asked. Which makes sense because it is not possible to prove where you caught a virus.

The hospital system I worked for set it in policy that workers comp could not be invoked for a serious COVID infection in an employee because they said it was extremely unlikely that employees would pick it up from work if they followed proper transmission-based protocols.

This was when we were using the same N95 masks until they literally fell apart.

We technically got unlimited sick days if it was COVID or suspected COVID, but it wasn’t paid unless we used our vacation time.
