I found out today that she was actually never tested. She went back to the hospital on Friday because she spiked a fever (along with the cough, shortness of breath) and she was told that she was not going to get tested but she has all of the symptoms so she should go quarantine for two weeks.
Without her getting tested we don't know how many of our residents she could have exposed- and this is a very vulnerable population of adults. Staff also doesn't know who has been exposed. Let alone anyone she may have come in contact with outside of work.
I am furious. I worked with her every day for a week before she got sick and should probably be on quarantine but without an order from public health I still need to report to work as essential staff every day.

((((( femme )))))) so sorry you have been exposed. Seems like either she was scared to face it or just ignorant to the seriousness of the virus ~ to me either way it's selfish not to consider everyone. Facing anything like this is hard , but to me I would tell everyone so we got the right help. It's not a death sentence but for your clients it very well could be. dam you all have a lot to deal with ~ we're all here while you go threw this ~
