The Nurses Association of Jamaica (NAJ) has revealed that six of its members are among the 48 employees of the University Hospital of West Indies who have contracted COVID-19
News broke on Friday of a memo to workers at the hospital which stated that most of those who had tested positive contracted the virus after Christmas Eve.
The employees reportedly became infected after attending gatherings last weekend.
NAJ President Patsy Edwards Henry told Radio Jamaica News that she, upon being informed of this development, she investigated, and while confirming the number of nurses infected, her queries also revealed that they had not been admitted to hospital, "and therefore their symptoms are mild".
With Jamaica now experiencing its fourth COVID-19 wave, the NAJ President said she will be monitoring the status of other nurses throughout the country.
