HIPAA only applies to health care providers, though, so if the friend is not in health care, they are not violating that particular law (though there could be confidentiality agreeements or other laws). Just want to clarify that, as it is a misconception.
if you have access to patient information and share that information you are in violation. Now, being Zib doesn't have Covid it's not really a violation although anybody with access to patient info is under the guidlines. As far as i know, anybody within healthcare these days has to be certified.
if this info came from within the Rangers, well, he doesn't have Covid so i don't see anything wrong with that. If the same source announced everybody on the team is cancer free the source didn't violate the whole team. We know everybody on the team has been tested for Covid. It's not a secret.
