“Nurses at work with Chinese shit. We are not slaughter fodder”

“The number of infected nurses in Puglia is growing significantly. The situation is different from how it is told by many Apulian politicians and public health administrators. The growth of nurses with positive results is counterbalanced by the failure to implement the public health actions required by law on the basis of ministerial and regional circulars and ordinances: there is no contact tracing activity for the many cases of nurses who, in carrying out their work, find covid positivity “.

Andreula, Scarpa and Papagni, presidents of the Nursing Professions Orders of Bari, Bat and Brindisi, go on the attack and point the finger at the Puglia Region.

“Infected nurses are left alone in managing their health, putting their family at risk of contagion too – they explain -. And in these dramatic days for the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, a sad deja-vu is expected on the shortage of dpi in accordance with the law, replaced in the latter period, by Chinese smears that do not comply with the legal standards, by plasticized sheets other use and systematic violations of the most elementary provisions on health surveillance “.

“Without neglecting the pearl concocted by the Puglia Region that threatens nurses and the health professions, of the deceptive promise to subject them to disciplinary sanctions if they do not undergo flu vaccinations – continue Andreula, Scarpa and Papagni -. We must not forget the manifest absurdity of the blocking of the public competition for nurses implemented by the Puglia Region, in the absence of legal requirements and unlike what has been achieved by other regions. A decision that we have never fully understood and that produces those gaps in staff that allow the Regional Councilor for Health in pectore, Pierluigi Lopalco to affirm that there is a shortage of nurses and that they do not even have to pay them by weight. gold”.

“Let’s not forget the nurses forced to work additional shifts and underpaid either – they conclude -. These are some of the reasons that push, or rather require, nurses graduated from universities in Puglia to prefer job offers in other places in Italy ”.
