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

Homelessness NSW chief executive Katherine McKernan said many of Sydney's homeless people were still without shelter and risking COVID-19 transmission due to a lack of co-ordination from government departments, despite hotel chains reaching out to offer their spare rooms.Credit:Kate Geraghty
