The employee who infected several staff and residents at a Sydney nursing home with coronavirus displayed only mild symptoms and is now “distraught and mortified”, NSW Health bosses say. So far, 11 people at the Newmarch House aged-care facility in Caddens have been infected with the virus, after a woman completed six shifts despite having mild symptoms of the virus. NSW’s chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said the staff member was “distraught” about the infections. “I have spoken to the director of the public health unit and this person is absolutely mortified,” she said. “So, I think I would urge people to remember that the symptoms of COVID can be incredibly mild and the key point is do not go to work. Six staff members and five residents have been infected with the virus since the infected staff member worked at the facility.
