working during a pandemic
Over the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtably had a negative impact on the lives of many Jamaicans, both locally and internationally, especially those working in the health sector, being one of the major groups which has been negatively affected by the pandemic. Doctors, nurses and others who work at clinics, hospitals have been facing the brunt of the pandemic.
One such individual is Shereez Thomas, a housekeeper who has worked at the Cornwall Regional Hospital for over nine years. Her job is to ensure that the rooms at the hospital are clean for the patients. The coronavirus coming to Jamaica has had an impact on her during the early stages, but she has not been dithered by this and instead continues to press on despite the challenges.
