68 health workers in Spain tested positive for COVID-19 after attending New Year's Eve party.
The BBC reports.
It is noted that the majority of those infected are doctors and nurses in the intensive care unit regional hospital of the province of Malaga. All of them took part in the party last Wednesday, which was attended by about 170 people.
All guests are known to have received negative antigen test results before the event. At the same time, according to local authorities, the infected hospital staff was fully vaccinated and have no symptoms of the disease.
Currently, the infected are self-isolating, and colleagues have taken their places. After the incident, health workers in the Spanish autonomous commune of Andalusia were urged to avoid Christmas parties.
Previously, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez urged people to be wary of the pandemic during the holidays. “We must not let our guard down,” he emphasized.
