Unvaccinated doctors returning to work banned from ICUs and cancer wards in Greece

Doctors and nursing staff returning to work after being suspended for refusal to get vaccinated against Covid-19 will not be allowed in intensive care units and cancer wards, according to proposals by the Health ministry’s committee of experts explained in Parliament on Wednesday, ANA reports.

The committee had recommended that support staff (such as nurses and assistants) provide two rapid tests a week and wear a high-protection mask. The recommendation for doctors was disclosed by Health Minister Thanos Plevris at Parliament, pending an official announcement from the government.

“For doctors and nursing staff, the recommendation is that they not be allowed in intensive care units and hospitalization areas where patients are immunosuppressed, such as in cancer wards,” Plevris said.
