Covid 19: Three nurses who wore bin bags due to PPE shortage 'all tested positive for coronavirus.
Three nurses who wore bin bags on their shifts due to a shortage in personal protective equipment (PPE) have reportedly tested positive for coronavirus.
Just weeks ago, the nurses had shared a photo of themselves wrapped in clinical waste bags as they issued a plea for proper masks, gowns and gloves at Northwick Park Hospital, in Harrow.
The hospital previously declared an emergency situation after all of its critical care beds were filled with patients.
More than 50% of staff working on one ward have now tested positive for coronavirus, the
Daily Telegraph reports.
They have reportedly all tested positive for coronavirus
The nurses told the publication in March they had to ‘use their initiative’ by wearing the bin liners, as they had ‘no other choice’ due to the lack of PPE available.
One nurse told how they desperately needed proper equipment, and were already having to treat their colleagues after they had caught the virus from patients.
She continued: ‘There are so many younger people here on ventilation – many with asthma, or diabetes. They can’t stop coughing, they just cough and cough and cough and they can’t help it – but there’s little we can do apart from try to help them breathe.
‘Sometimes the body just gives up, and they die. We can’t save them. The worst part is that we can’t allow their relatives in to say goodbye.’

But most will allow the new mom to wear what she is comfortable in after the actual birth. It's best to ask your Dr. or hospital before buying. ppegown
