Concerns over Covid nurse

He confirmed the nurse was looking after three Covid patients at Epping Private Hospital.
It has emerged she also worked two shifts at Northern Hospital on June 11 to 12.
There are now 22 Northern Hospital staff who are isolating for 14 days, as well as nine primary close contacts of the nurse at Epping Private.
