"Hundreds of patients died of COVID after catching the virus while being
treated at Victorian hospitals for unrelated ailments.
More than 3200 people are suspected to have caught the virus while in hospital
between January 1 and October 26 last year, according to leaked Victorian
Health Department data. Of these patients, at least 344 – more than 10 per cent
– died. Patients in hospitals are particularly vulnerable to COVID infections.
“Infections should not be occurring in healthcare facilities,” said Associate
Professor Philip Russo, an infection prevention expert from Monash University.
The data was initially leaked online by an emergency doctor. The Age has
independently verified that the information came from an official health
department document.
Many hospitals across Victoria have begun winding back pandemic restrictions in
recent weeks, including disbanding COVID wards and dropping mask mandates for
staff and visitors."
