The Rhode Island Department of Health stands by the decision to allow COVID positive health care workers to return to their jobs instead of rehiring unvaccinated workers who were terminated because of their inoculation status.
Updated quarantine and isolation guidance from the Rhode Island Department of Health allows employees to continue working at hospitals and nursing homes without restrictions if the facility is so short-staffed it's a safety hazard for patients and residents. The updated guidance sparked some criticism after health care workers were placed on unpaid leave for not getting vaccinated, with critics questioning if lifting the mandate would be a better solution to staffing shortages.
Rhode Island Health Department spokesman Joseph Wendelken told The Providence Journal that unvaccinated health care workers are at a "greater individual risk" given the number of COVID-positive patients in facilities. Wendelken added that a vaccinated person who tests positive for COVID-19 has a lower viral load compared to an unvaccinated person who contracts COVID-19.

“Wendelken added that a vaccinated person who tests positive for COVID-19 has a lower viral load compared to an unvaccinated person who contracts COVID-19.”
Nearly all unvaccinated people do not have Covid, so their viral load is precisely zero. What this genius is really saying is that a disease-free unvaccinated person is somehow more infectious than a sick vaccinated one who is teeming with virus. Brilliant.
