I looked at the short term due list just as I got a flight request within minutes of starting my shift.  Seen that the power check was over 4 hours out.  I looked at this on the computer screen and didn't print out a new copy like I do every day at the start of my shift.  Just after our second flight we got a call that our crew from the last shift was COVID-19 Positive.  I got the third flight just after this for another team and was trying to figure out if I was at risk and what about the team.  Do I go; don't go.  Put on all PPE or just a mask.  I just forgot about the power check getting close with the two flights in the bag and looking at a long trip.  After the last flight I was XX minutes over the engine power check.After XX years; of this type of flying; this is my first time over flying inspection.  Only as good as your last flight. I always print out my fresh list at the start of my shift.  I didn't stop and take the time to print off a new one.  Looking at the list on the screen is not as good; it's hard to read and easy to miss things.  If doing lots of flights make sure you go back and recheck the list and times.  I forgot about the inspection and didn't recheck my numbers.  Don't rush when you get a call; things get missed or forgot.  Print out your lists every time don't just read off the computer screen.  Use a hi-lighter marker to mark things getting close.  3-5 hours out from due time is the time to call your maintenance department on the phone and start working a plan.
Helicopter Captain reported flying with an overdue engine power check inspection.  Reporter cited being distracted after being informed that the crew from the previous shift was COVID-19 positive.
