schema:articleBody	Spain's health emergency chief came under fire Tuesday for joking about "infectious" nurses, with the government demanding he apologise for the comment deemed "sexist" by the national nurses' guild. The controversy erupted Friday when an online interview emerged in which Fernando Simon, the health ministry's emergencies director who leads the country's response to the pandemic, made the comment. Asked during the interview if he preferred "infectious diseases or infectious nurses," Simon replied that he "did not ask them if they were infectious or not, you see that a few days later". Spain's nurses guild blasted Simon on Sunday for his "chauvinist and backwards moment of disinhibition" and his "sexist and primitive" tone. "Nurses have spent decades fighting to get rid of all these sexist images and stereotypes," the body said in a statement. "It is intolerable that someone with Simon's responsibility allows himself to try to denigrate" the nursing profession during a pandemic, it added. Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said Tuesday during a radio interview that Simon should apologise "as an individual and citizen and man" for the "very inappropriate" comment which "does not help boost equality and respect for women". An epidemiologist who has worked in Latin America and in Africa for the European Union and the World Health Organization, Simon, 57, often uses an informal tone during the health ministry's regular televised briefings on the grim progress of the coronavirus in Spain. He has been criticised by opposition parties on the right for not calling for more drastic measures to restrict the spread of the virus during the start of the pandemic, which has claimed more than 36,000 lives in Spain. Simon himself became infected with Covid-19 in March, but continued to take part in the health ministry's televised briefings from his home. His thick eyebrows and unruly mop of salt-and-pepper hair have been a gift to the nation's cartoonists. In 2014, he led the response to the Ebola outbreak, when two Spanish missionaries died in a Madrid hospital of the deadly disease. du/ds/CHZ/wai
