Greater Sydney s seven-week COVID-19 outbreak has left paramedics at breaking point and living in fear of contracting the virus and spreading it to their families, the union says.
The Australian Paramedics Association (NSW) is demanding better PPE and safety practices, greater hospital capacity and rapid antigen testing.
APA Assistant Secretary Alan O Riordan says paramedics are contracting the highly-contagious Delta strain of the virus after being forced to wait inside ambulances for up to two-to-three hours with COVID-19 positive patients, before being able to off-load them to hospitals.
