Stuff reports the Canterbury DHB staff members tested positive for the virus after caring for patients from the Rosewood Rest Home cluster.
DHB incident controller Dr Sue Nightingale says experts believe they were infected because of damp masks and being unable to change PPE every two hours, as recommended.
Two were working in the surgical ward, and a third helped move rest home residents to the hospital.
