COVID positive nurse to return to work
An intensive care nurse says he's due back at work on Friday, just over two weeks after he contracted COVID-19.
Daniel Collins, an intensive care unit nurse from the Royal Melbourne Hospital, tested positive for COVID-19 on August 6.
Mr Collins, who has been staying in hotel isolation since being diagnosed, said just days ago he was struggling to catch his breath and had been feeling "quite unwell".
He told ABC Radio Melbourne he'd been resting but was scheduled to return to work on August 21 - even if he continues to test positive.
Mr Collins, 24, said he initially had mild symptoms, and began to lose his sense of taste and smell. He said around day eight he became "quite unwell".
He said he'd also been measuring his oxygen saturation, which had dropped to "worrying" levels.
The registered nurse said he doesn't need to return to a negative test before returning to work.
"Once it gets to day 10 of having COVID, you need to be symptom-free for three days and then you can get cleared of COVID," he said.

这个是医护人员的愈愈标准。以前是要两次阴性的。

这个绝对是dhhs的乌龙吧
我们单位也有确诊的护士，就一次阳性的结果，没症状了dhhs就clear可以上班了
还有一个，刚测完阳性，dhhs就发信clear了
太狗血
但是我们医院不接受，哈哈哈
我感觉卫生部门信任度不大高，还是要本医院和自己多操操心
