NEW YORK (CNN) - Testing remains a major problem in the battle against the coronavirus as hospitals grapple with a shortage of test kits and long wait times for results.

This reality is particularly dangerous for healthcare workers.

A nurse says she worked for about seven days at two hospitals in New York City while infected with the coronavirus.

She went undetected because her hospital wasn't testing the staff.

She doesn't want to reveal her name or where she works for fear she'll be fired.

“Two weeks ago, I was feeling back pain, a lot of back pain, and then one night had really bad chest pain,” the nurse said.

She continued to work, wearing the same gown and mask all day, patient to patient.


“I’m touching that mask. It’s on my face. I’m putting it back on. Virus flies in the air. It goes right up in my nose. It’s so easy to get contaminated when you have to put on something that already has virus on it,” she said.

Because the emergency room refused to test staff, she went there in the middle of the night when she knew a friend would be on duty.

“I said, ‘Please, just this one time, I want to make sure I don’t have it. I don’t want to spread anything,’ and so she tested me,” the nurse said.

It took five days for the results to come back. She tested positive. The nurse worries she infected staff members and patients.

The author of "Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals, Dr. Peter Pronovost, said the nurse’s story is “heart-wrenching. And as a clinician or just a human being, it’s horrible.”

Pronovost said he wishes the U.S. could do what’s being done in some other countries.

At Hadassah Hospital in Israel, utilizing tests that aren’t needed for patients, they test all healthcare workers every five days.


“We feel that this is extremely important in order to protect our entire workforce and our patients,” Dr. Yoram Weiss said.

But this can’t be done in the U.S. “Sadly we just don’t have enough tests to do that right now,” Pronovost said.

That’s how this nurse ended up working while infected. Fortunately, the nurse feeling better now and is in isolation at home.

She thinks there are other doctors and nurses working at hospitals while infected and that that scares her. “Nobody wants to get this virus,” she said.

In addition to testing kits, personal protective equipment and ventilators are also in short supply.

纽约(CNN)-由于医院缺乏检测试剂盒和等待结果的漫长时间,因此在与冠状病毒的斗争中,检测仍然是一个主要问题。

这种现实对医护人员特别危险。

一位护士说,她在感染冠状病毒的同时在纽约市的两家医院工作了大约7天。

她没有被发现,因为她的医院没有对工作人员进行测试。

她不想透露自己的名字或在哪里工作,因为担心自己会被解雇。

护士说:“两周前,我感到腰酸背痛,很多背痛,然后一晚上我的胸痛真的很重。”

她继续工作,一整天都穿着相同的衣服和口罩,接待每一位病人。


“我正在触摸那个口罩。在我脸上 我放回去。病毒飞向空中。它就在我的鼻子上。当您不得不穿上已经带有病毒的东西时,容易被污染,”她说。

因为急诊室拒绝对工作人员进行测试,所以她在深夜才知道朋友要当值时就去了那里。

“我说,'求你了,这一次,我想确保我没有。我不想传播任何东西,所以她对我进行了测试,”护士说。

结果花了五天时间才得到测试结果,阳性。护士担心她感染了工作人员和病人。


“智能医院的安全患者,彼得·普罗诺沃斯托斯博士(Peter Pronovost博士)的作者说,护士的故事是“令人伤心的。作为临床医生或人类,这太可怕了。”

Pronovost表示,他希望美国能做其他一些国家正在做的事情。

在以色列的哈达萨医院,他们利用患者不需要的测试,每五天对所有医护人员进行一次测试。


Yoram Weiss博士说:“我们认为,这对于保护我们的全体员工和患者至关重要。”

但这在美国无法做到。“很遗憾,我们现在没有足够的测试来做到这一点,” Pronovost说。

这就是这位护士被感染后最终工作的方式。幸运的是,护士现在感觉好多了,并且在家里处于隔离状态。

她认为还有其他医生和护士在医院工作时被感染,这使她感到恐惧。她说:“没有人希望得到这种病毒。”

除测试套件外,个人防护设备和呼吸机也供不应求。
