Nope. Some, probably, but the covid part of the hospital is as isolated as possible from the rest of the building. Covid nurses are kept on the covid unit and away from the rest of the wards as much as possible. "There will be specialty care areas where separate units or rooms are not feasible because of care requirements (e.g., intensive care). For these areas, consider using temporary partitions (e.g., glass or acrylic) between patients with ILI symptoms and patients without ILI symptoms." https://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/cpip-pclcpi/assets/pdf/ann-f-eng.pdf
If they have had covid they would still be required to be vaccinated because by now everyone knows that the shot increases their protection from re-infection. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/prepare-for-vaccination.html
Because the risk of having them around is deemed to be too great.
Yes, i do know that a covid vaccine and natural immunity is better than just natural immunity on its own. I also know that natural immunity on its own is better than the vaccine on its own. If i were to use your logic, i would then stupidly push for only nurses that have natural immunity be able to work and nurses that have a vaccine and no natural immunity to be fired.
You're right. That would be stupid. I'm glad you aren't in charge of who can work in the hospitals.
