Queensland Health to audit COVID masks and PPE after nurses union takes industrial action
Queensland Health has been ordered to conduct an urgent state-wide audit into personal protective equipment (PPE) fit-testing for nurses treating COVID-19 patients.
The Queensland Nurses and Midwives’ Union (QNMU) took Queensland Health to the state’s industrial relations commission yesterday, over concerns that stemmed from three nurses and a doctor being infected with COVID-19 at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Queensland Health’s high priority hospital and health services, including Metro North, Metro South, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Torres and Cape York and Cairns must be audited by April 19.
The state’s remaining hospital and health services will need to be audited by April 22.
