[1]National Nurses United
Last week, NNU President and RN Jean Ross told the CNN Newsroom the truth:
that by weakening their Covid-19 isolation guidelines to seven days for
health care workers — and even less time if there are staffing shortages —
the CDC is putting thousands of lives at risk.

While the CDC now claims this change is motivated by science, nurses know
it’s motivated by something else entirely: employers wanting workers back
on the clock fast, regardless of whether it’s safe, to maximize their
profits.
We’ve fought since day one of this pandemic for protections for nurses
and health care workers based on science and the precautionary principle,
and we’re not backing down now. [ [link removed] ]Will you help us draw attention to this
failure to protect patients, nurses, and other health care workers by
joining our national day of action on January 13?

On this national day of action, nurses, other health care workers, and
activists across the country will be standing up for change —
and having your support at this critical
moment will make a huge impact.
This move by the CDC comes as Omicron is exploding across the country,
single-day records for Covid-19 cases continue to be broken, and the
number of available ICU beds dwindles in hospital after hospital. What’s
more, this change comes right as OSHA announced its plan to rescind
hard-won emergency protections for health care workers.
Plain and simple, we are dumbfounded and enraged by these actions and
the very real risk they pose for nurses, other health care workers, and
patients. But we refuse to go backward, and we need your help to protect
nurses and patients now.
