MPILO Central Hospital’s 197 staff members who were put on self-isolation after a nurse at the institution tested positive to COVID-19 last month are still not at work.
This came as reports suggested that 13 more Mpilo Central Hospital nurses tested positive to COVID-19 and were part of the new cases which were reported in Bulawayo over the weekend.
The provincial health department is the one dealing with issues of COVID-19, and on issues of COVID-19 talk to them,” Ndlovu said.
Ndlovu said he was not at liberty to comment on COVID-19 cases which he said were dealt with by the provincial health department.
Nurses were among the most affected professionals, with at least 90 000 health care workers having been infected by COVID-19 and more than 260 dying by the end of May across the world according to the International Council of Nurses.
