FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. (CNS)—Health care workers from three area hospitals held a rally Nov. 23 calling for more access to COVID-19 tests amid a steady rise in patients with the disease streaming into the medical centers.

“Honestly, I’m scared, not only me, but a lot of my coworkers are scared of working at the hospital right now,” said Mailinh Nguyen, a certified nurses assistant at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital. “Because all we’re asking for is for our employees to be tested and it’s not happening.”
