I totally agree with Ms McGinley on that. Unfortunately, that is the reality in our society across many workplaces. The quote included in her opening statement regarding contact tracing was outrageous. I know there were some translation services available but was English the main language used in contact tracing? Was the information given to workers with Covid-19 in their native language to distribute to their household contacts sufficient? The fact that they had to distribute that themselves when they had tested positive is outrageous as well.
