Original title: the United States with a shortage of hospital personnel: allowing the rework of asymptomatic infection medical care and the spread of nosocomial epidemic
With the spread of novel coronavirus pneumonia variant, the infection and close medical staff are causing too many shortages in the large number of hospitals in the United States. However, the new policy has led to the spread of the epidemic in hospitals in the United States. Nandu reporter learned from the U.S. Department of health that as of January 16 local time, the total number of new coronal infections in hospitalized patients in the United States has increased by 80%.

According to the statistics of the U.S. Department of health, a quarter of hospitals in the United States have a serious shortage of personnel. On December 23, 2021, the CDC announced that the isolation time of COVID-19 positive workers was shortened from 10 days to 7 days.
The CDC also said that if there is a further shortage of medical staff, the isolation time may be shortened to five days, and even asymptomatic infected people may be allowed to work. At present, California has allowed asymptomatic infected medical staff to return to work on January 8 local time.
American experts criticized that the new policy of the CDC to relax the rework requirements of medical staff has led to the spread of the hospital epidemic. According to the statistics of the U.S. Department of health, after the CDC announced the new deal, as of January 16 local time, the total number of patients infected with the new crown in American hospitals within at least two weeks increased by 80%.
Novel coronavirus pneumonia was initially admitted to the hospital because of the new crown pneumonia. George Caballero test showed positive results. "The only place where they could infect COVID-19 was the hospital, and they did not start infection at first," said George Caballero, who studies the data. Fudge, the chief infectious disease expert in the United States, also said that the existence of "super communicators" in hospitals will increase the risk of hospital infection.
According to Nandu's previous report, on January 8 local time, the California Nurses Association issued a statement on its official website condemning the California Health Bureau for allowing asymptomatic infected medical staff to return to work. The Association says it is very dangerous to let infected medical workers return to work. As medical staff, they hope to take good care of patients rather than continue to infect others with the virus. "Reworking the positive medical staff will only lead to more transmission. If the medical staff are sick, who will take care of our patients and the community."
