A rule denounced by some

Faced with this new measure, some health professionals are not fully understood.

"Today we are paying for the health policies carried out for years ... We have put the bare minimum of agents in each service", deplores Guillaume Herlin, union nurse SOUTH at Rouen University Hospital.

And to add: "We cannot say to a population that it is necessary to be super vigilant vis-a-vis the virus, and to infected caregivers" come to work "!

".

Other rules will also have to be observed for these agents, such as wearing the mask all day, indoors and outdoors, respecting safety distances, avoiding gatherings or even washing their hands regularly.
