    Good morning All,

    Could I ask what protocols are being implemented in your hospitals regarding Return to Work post COVID-19 infection? (particularly in NSW)

    There is the https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/communities-of-practice/Documents/hcw-exposures.pdf document to manage HCW exposures within the community (NSW Health), however stating 7 days worth of RAT for almost every type of exposure.

    Given the limited resources of RATs available and possibility of positive results for the next month post infection – I would love to know how others are managing.

    Kind regards,

    Gemma Chang
