EMTs not warned of transporting possible coronavirus patient in Seattle

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) who work for American Medical Response (AMR) ambulance company have expressed outrage and frustration after two EMTs transported a patient with possible novel coronavirus (COVID-19) but weren’t warned of the danger.

Public Health – Seattle & King County called for the transport on Saturday. The county alerted AMR that the patient was possibly infected with COVID-19. But that important message never made it to the first responders.

AMR employees took to a closed Facebook group this week. Dozens of comments were aimed at their employer for the communication failure.

“The communication breakdown is dangerous and could worsen the chance of spreading this disease,” one EMT wrote.

1. Terrifying and I am now wondering if this isn't happening

more. Hawaii sat on a case, due to tourism, Florida will not share info with the public on Covid19 cases. Residents of Kansas and a few other states seem certain there are C19 cases in their states. Such a frightening time to be alive.
I would be beyond livid, if I were them.

2. They need to behave as if anyone could have the virus.

Because that's how things are headed.

I saw in another thread that several cities are going to test sick patients who are negative for the flu.
