NSW government slashes isolation time for close contact healthcare workers

????

The New South Wales government has slashed the isolation time for close contact healthcare workers. Employees who are 'essential to service delivery' can leave isolation after seven days of being exposed to a COVID case. They were previously excluded from the workplace for 14 days under close contact requirements. The health staff will have to return a negative PCR test on day six - then complete daily rapid antigen testing.

They have vaccinated (coerced and blackmailed) 95% of the population ie. mission accomplished. Now all 95% have no choce but to take booster after booster................poor souls, now they will know what's it like being turned into a big pharma pin cushion. Ps According to studies, booster vaccinations protect against Omikron for about 10 weeks LOLLLLLLL

I just love how these all-important rules can be scrapped whenever they are inconvenient for the government.
@lappo253 Says:
Rules for me, not for thee. To think that most people still believe in the existence of Covid is truly frightening.
@davepowelldrumz Says:
why would they do that in the deadliest pandemic known to man ?

So if healthcare workers can, than it should be able to be applied to everyone. 🤷🏼‍♀️

None of this lot are health workers. Rather have a health worker who's been forced out of their job tend to me. All for their paycheck these mugs.
@lukekent9687 Says:
Well after they have gutted the hospitals with mandates they can't afford to lose more staff or it might become even clearer how little they care about health in all of these measures.
@andrewwhite1065 Says:
If anyone is aware and trained in the use of PPE & hygiene practices, its our frontline medical people. They should only be isolating at home if their sick with a mild cold for example, and not because they were in a room or location with someone that has tested positive for Omicron. * 50% of persons in the UK who have a cold are believed to be infected by Omicron. Health care centres should be doing temperature checks at the door. One quick test. If these people aren't allowed to work after being double or triple jabbed, well then what is the point of vaccines generally?

reminds one of how if you stand in a restuarunt covid will get you and you need wear a mask but if your sitting down it will be respectful and leave you alone so no mask is needed
@arroeducarlion4990 Says:
just in time for healthcare workers to spread covid more why else is it only health care workers? or are they somehow covid immune

@cherylroberts771 Says:
Health care workers know better than gov officials. Seems around the world health care workers are refusing the vaccines. So that should inform our gov that health care workers don't believe the vaccine is neseccary to survive the virus. Just like they don't all believe in the flu vaccine.. Drs and scientists and nurse's and EMTs are all being laid off Even tho they have worked through the entire pandemic.. odd isn't it?

Yeah... and eighteen months ago we learnt that even seven days wasn't necessary... but... sCiEnCe
