MONTERREY, Mexico—Nurses at a public hospital hit by Mexico’s worst COVID-19 outbreak were told by their managers not to wear protective masks at the start of the epidemic to avoid sowing panic among patients, nurses and other medical workers said.
Two doctors and a hospital administrator have died and at least 51 staff members have been infected since the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus and which causes the disease COVID-19, was detected at the IMSS General Hospital in Monclova in Coahuila state in late March, the state’s health department said.
