An earlier version of this article on BBC this morning wrote that it was pretty common for hospitals to make such announcements in winter as a way to flag potential staffing issues to be taken up by the slack available in other hospitals, adding "most will be removed again within a few days"
The current version is less frank.

A propos of recent comments here regarding HK healthcare professionals, I suppose the lynchings will soon commence.Tournament organizers confirmed Djokovic in a statement was given a "medical exemption" after a review that included two separate independent panels of experts. The experts are made up of doctors from immunology, infection disease and general practice.
He’s tested positive before though, so it would be a re-infection, but of course given many Aussies already felt compelled to vaccinate, pleading immune escape isn’t likely to cut much ice.
Novak Djokovic has for weeks refused to reveal his vaccination status and whether he would play in the Australian open. Now he says he's got his exemption and coming down under. But he's making a big mistake and is going to regret setting foot here, he's now the most hated person in Australia. Every single person is going to boo him for his entire stay. I cannot imagine what tournament organizers and the Australian government are thinking letting this dickhead in.
AAP reporter Karen Sweeney tweeted: “Novak Djokovic is about to find out what it’s like to be despised by all of Australia. We’re all nice and laid back until we’re not.”Football writer Samantha Lewis added: “Everybody attending the Australian Open has a patriotic duty to boo Djokovic for the entirety of his stay. This is an obscene decision and organisers should be ashamed of themselves.”TV and radio host Andy Maher said: “Australians have been denied for two years, but this bloke — who’s taken extraordinary liberties in the face of the coronavirus — gets his exemption. Novak Djokovic is an all-time great, but he ain’t essential.”Sports journalist Jon Ralph labelled the decision “farcical”. People will be going to bed right now to get up at 5am to do the right thing to get into testing queues for PCR results they won’t get for six days and will quarantine anyway,” he said.“How bloody galling to see Novak get an exemption.”
