Leaked report reveals almost half of Victorian isolation wards failed to meet all ventilation guidelines
A new leaked report has found almost half of hospital isolation rooms did not meet ventilation guidelines after an audit was commissioned after healthcare staff and patients were found to be infected with COVID-19.
The audit revealed nearly 40 per cent of hospital wards failed air filtration guidelines and though 99 percent of wards had enough outside air, problems begin to occur when it gets into the hospitals.
The ABC has contacted the Victorian Health Department for comment.
