The nurses, based at the Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, refused to treat the patients, after one of their colleagues tested positive for Covid-19.

They had previously asked for more N95 masks to be supplied to them, but were told by hospital administrators that they were not necessary, according to the Associated Press.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the use of N95 masks for healthcare professionals, as it “filters at least 95% of airborne particles”.

The National Nurses Union told the AP that the nurses have been suspended.
