It is potentially malpractice when healthcare workers are NOT vaccinated if they pass on infection to others. They can expose their patients, colleagues, friends & family to infection, illness and death. If a patient becomes infected in such a facility they can bring legal action against that facility and the worker exposing them. It would be interesting to see how our courts would view a harm that results from willfully ignoring a scientifically available prevention?

With newer and newer more contagious and virulent variant viruses not getting vaccinated is insane and selfish.

They should be given a simple choice: get vaccinated or have daily rapid Covid testing at the door of the healthcare facility. If that is unacceptable they can find employment somewhere else.

The vaccination is free folks! Why would someone think that any person(s) invested in a business, a community and the health therein would actually compensate stupidity and immorality??

I’m no lawyer, but I am a Bahamian with no where else to decamp to when our economy tanks.

We’re already on an advisory list warning our visitors about Covid (and crime). So when we continue to show significant Covid cases & deaths and our life blood (tourism) is ruined by Bahamians, including “line staff”, passing Covid to our guests…we will all suffer the consequences…

We all need to be a bit more selfless and weigh risks vs benefit for everything we do, not just Covid/vaccines and money.

Smart move by Atlantis…many companies may adopt the Delta Airlines approach:unvaccinated staff pay for tests and also incur an additional medical insurance co$t, which I’m sure the insurance companies, using their actuarial skills, have already calculated into their ‘risk’ assessment. It maybe the most reasonable and fairest way to distribute cost to their employees.

Many Bahamians are switching to casement or hurricane impact windows. Unlike the old windows, these windows are very air tight, some having two or three layers of glass and rubber seals. Then the mini split a/cos just recirculate the same air over and over. So it there is a gas leak and you are locked in this airtight ‘box’ there will be an explosion if these is. Gas leak and something ignites it. Especially in a small space. Gas can also build up in the ceiling especially if there are not sufficient vents or no vents in the boxing. The building code may have to be changed to accommodate these airtight windows being used with mini split ac units in small spaces. And with propane gas stoves. An electric stove will be more expensive to operate but safer. That can’t be healthy even without an explosion. Thankfully there was no lost of life.

No one is entitled to a job. Employees pay for the test, get vaccinated or quit. We need to stop coddling these unions.

well, there you go, Atlantis was paying for the test the entire time . The workers must now pay " their fare share'. So, the workers want Atlantis to carry them on its back? Please stop resorting to the RACE CARD every time a dispute does not go your way.
