The metro Atlanta nurse who died last week of COVID-19 worked at Piedmont Henry Hospital, two employees of the suburban facility said.
The employees, who requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation, said the RN who died of coronavirus worked with cardiac patients. One of the employees, also a nurse, said she believed the RN who died became infected during her work at Piedmont Henry.
