One doctor called a training session at the hospital as a ‘super-spreading event’
An inquiry into the incident found one nurse unknowingly infected 16 other people during a training session on June 30, described by one doctor as a ‘super-spreading event’.
One health official with knowledge of the investigation said: ‘Social distancing is very important in this pandemic, so it’s worrying to find that not done by an NHS trust. They shouldn’t be breaching any social distancing rules at the moment.’ The nurse who spread the bug among colleagues is thought to have caught it from a patient who had recently returned from abroad.
