After treatment, the workers all returned to their normal duties.  This is one of the never-never events where the hospitals eat the bill if patients become infected, and just over all this appears to me to be a good idea to test and see if in fact any staff in the hospital are infected, as it seems to me their level of potential infection with constant exposure is just as high if not higher than a patient at times.  Granted, they may not be as weak and do not have open wounds with surgical procedures healing, but many are carriers too without even knowing it.  One fascinating technology I have posted about before is a hand washing monitoring system and you can read more at the link below and watch the video.  BD

Real Time Monitoring of When you Washed your Hands – Don’t Touch that Patient Until You Have Washed Your Hands
