简要总结
Healthcare workers are the frontline of the current COVID-19 pandemic response and as such are exposed to hazards that put them at the risk of acquiring infection. Understanding of COVID-19 infection in healthcare workers is crucial for maintaining sustainable workforce against the pandemic and to prevent the risk of transmission of infection to patients, colleagues and family.
A retrospective case control study will be conducted to assess the risk factors for transmission of SARS CoV 2 infection in healthcare workers exposed to confirmed COVID-19 patients. Health care workers with positive RT-PCR test for COVID-19 irrespective of clinical signs or symptoms will be recruited as cases . The health care workers in the same health care facility involved in care of COVID-19 patients who are not serologically positive and are not classified as suspected or probable COVID-19 cases will be recruited as controls.Once a health care worker is identified as a case, the study team will approach him telephonically and invite them to participate in study.For identification of controls, health care workers exposed to COVID-19 patient during the same time period as" the case" will be chosen from the duty roster of that particular period. The controls will be enrolled in 1:3 period. For assessment of risk factors, information including demographic profile, co-morbid conditions, place of posting, average daily working hours, average patient load, hydroxycholoquine prophylaxis,compliance to infection control and preventive measures will be collected.
