Nearly 140 health-care workers tested positive for COVID-19 between Dec. 13 and 19, according to a provincial respiratory illness surveillance report published on Monday. That brings the total number of health-care workers who have tested positive to 1,485 as of Dec. 19 — however, 1,364 have recovered. In a week, the case numbers increased by 137. Of the cases among health-care workers, more than half — 853 — are allied health workers and support staff. CBC News has reached out to Shared Health to break down the regions where these health-care workers are based as well as their professions.
