Nurses in Santa Rosa and across the Bay Area are protesting what they call unsafe hospital working conditions. Nurses gathered at nine different Bay Area medical facilities yesterday including Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital to demand that hospitals do more to protect staff and patients from COVID-19. The nurses were also protesting the decision by the California Health Department to allow staff members who test positive for COVID but are asymptomatic to return to work without isolating.
