Avui volem donar les gràcies al personal de neteja, de seguretat, cuina, infraestructures, és a dir a tots els professionals no assistencials que continuen exercint les seves tasques en unes circumstàncies excepcionals a causa del #COVID19
Un aplaudiment molt merescut 👏 pic.twitter.com/pPjd1EQrYc— Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona CAT (@SJDbarcelona_ca) March 27, 2020
