What if you accidentally cared for a COVID patient
What do students do if they care for a COVID positive patient? We are not supposed to care for COVID patients, but sometimes patients test positive after care begins.
Answer
Immediately contact Student health and they will walk you through the various scenarios. If you were wearing appropriate PPE (e.g. face shield and a mask), you can likely continue through your rotations but will need to self-monitor. The student health nurse can walk you through this.
