Protect Families by Housing COVID-19 Health Teams in Managed Accommodations

The Coronavirus has shaken society to its very core by rendering normal activities, such as shaking hands and sitting close to one another, dangerous. For health workers involved in this fight, a conflict is ever brewing in their minds and hearts regarding their loyalty to the patients they treat on one side, and their families that they must protect from exposure to the deadly virus.

You probably have watched the news and seen heart-wrenching stories of health workers who have been infected with the virus and passed it on to their loved ones at home, or even those who have abandoned their work in order to avoid bringing the virus back to their families.

Healthcare workers shouldn’t have to choose between their jobs and the safety of their families, because both are important. CrewFacilities.com recommends that counties and cities temporarily accommodate their frontline healthcare workers in managed facilities. This will be beneficial in several ways as shown below.

Shielding Families from Exposure. When healthcare workers lodge at managed accommodation facilities, such as those that Andrea Tsakanikas and her team at CrewFacilities.com are providing to the City of New York’s emergency response personnel, their families will be safe from accidental exposure to the virus when the healthcare workers keep returning home after each day at work.

Keeping Healthcare Workers Close to Their Workplaces. The pandemic has made the existing healthcare worker shortages even worse due to the overwhelming number of patients flocking to hospitals. Needless to say, healthcare workers no longer work regular hours and have to make do with just a few hours of rest before they head back to the frontline. Managed accommodation facilities allow these professionals to lodge close to their work places and avoid accidentally spreading the virus to their families and community members during the commute to their homes.

Single-Minded Focus on Helping Patients. It also wise to lodge frontline healthcare workers in managed accommodation facilities close to their places of work so that these professionals will focus on their work instead of worrying about whether their families aren’t being exposed to the virus on a daily basis as they interact with the healthcare worker.

Counties and cities, as well as state and governmental departments, have a duty to protect the families of the valiant healthcare workers from the risk of contracting COVID-19 from their loved ones who are on the frontline fighting the pandemic. CrewFacilities.com has been aiding this fight by working with a number of local governments to provide managed accommodation facilities, such as hotel rooms, to healthcare workers so that they don’t have to expose their families to the virus.
