More than 9,000 U.S. health care workers have tested positive for the CCP virus in the space of two months, and 27 have died in that time, according to a report released April 14 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The federal data is the first of its kind to offer insight into how the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, is affecting health care workers across the United States.
