The number of health care workers in isolation has topped 500 in the province, but Health Minister John Haggie says other staff are “rising to the challenge” to help fill those gaps.
The breakdown includes 403 in the Eastern Health region, 48 in Central, 36 in the Western region, and 10 in Labrador-Grenfell, for a total of 512.
Haggie says the reduced staff numbers have not had any significant impact on hospital services.
