Health Care Workers Worried About Dwindling Medical Supplies

Healthcare workers are concerned about the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) in hospitals. The National Nurses United Union reports that items like gowns and masks are scarce, leading to reuse despite being designed for single use. The FDA has approved the decontamination and reuse of some PPE during the pandemic. Some physician offices remain closed due to lack of supplies. Over 94,000 healthcare workers in the US have contracted COVID-19, with hundreds of deaths reported.

According to the CDC, how many health care workers in the US have contracted COVID-19 since the pandemic began?
