Mexico City, April 26 (RHC)-- In Mexico, hospital workers are speaking out against the recent abuse and discrimination they have received from strangers and authorities, who believe doctors and nurses are helping spread the coronavirus. 

Over 20 medical staff across Mexico reported being assaulted, thrown off buses, and some were banned from entering their own homes.  One nurse described having bleach thrown at her as she walked home after a shift treating COVID-19 patients.
