One of my co-workers initially tested negative, but got re-tested after his wife and daughter got really sick also and tested positive. Their whole family tested positive, but my department never notofied us, or disinfect our work area. They never told us either, we found out through him. We are pissed, we have sick nurses with symptoms that were never tested.
there isn't enough testing kit for everyone at the moment, where is the testing kit going first?
