Intensive care unit nurse Wing Besilos, who is also a NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association (NSWNMA) councillor, said she and her nurse colleagues feared getting COVID-19 from their patients. She said nurses who contracted the coronavirus would welcome an exemption from having to prove they were infected at work if they need to make a workers' compensation claim. "Apart from the stress of getting COVID that would be a big relief not to have to prove you got it from work and be compensated properly for it," she said.Credit:Brook Mitchell
