OVIEDO, Spain - At least 80 Spanish healthcare workers have tested positive for Covid-19 after attending a hospital Christmas party in the city of Malaga, officials confirmed on Tuesday. All 80 are asymptomatic or have only mild cases, but the hospital is struggling to replace the confined workers, local media reported. Union representatives said on Oct. 31, local health authorities fired 1,500 healthcare workers because they assumed the pandemic was coming to an end. "If that wasn't the case, we'd have enough personnel to substitute our colleagues who can't work," Juan Carlos Navas, a union representative for Malaga nurses, told local media. A Christmas party that is suspected to be behind the outbreak was organized by the hospital's critical care department.
