The main focus for a member of the Regina Riot football team these days isn’t on the field, but in the workplace.
Adrienne Zuck is a registered nurse at the Regina General Hospital. She is one of the many front-line workers doing their thing to prevent the spread of COVID19. While Zuck does not deal directly with COVID19 patients, she is the General doing her day-to-day thing as are many others.
She is fully supportive of what the government has done to try and limit the spread and she says she does feel safe at work, but she admits there is one thing that is hard.
“Staying up to date with the forever changing policies and procedures might be the hardest thing.” Zuck said. “It’s a little eerie walking through the hallways and seeing everything so quiet because there is no patient interaction and those patients we do have can’t have visitors which is tough unless they have a tablet or phone to Facetime people.”
Front-line workers have been called heroes in this pandemic. That is something that flatters Zuck, but she feels she is just doing her job.
“To me, the heroes are the kids who didn’t graduate, the parents who are working from home and dealing with their kids and grocery-store workers.” Zuck said. “I’m just doing my job.”
