In our facility, 25% of personnel with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a higher-risk exposure to an infected patient or co-worker and 14% reported a higher-risk exposure in the community. All higher-risk exposures to infected patients occurred on non-COVID-19 units, often when there was a delay in diagnosis because COVID-19 was not initially suspected. Higher-risk exposures to co-workers with COVID-19 often involved lapses in compliance with masking in nonpatient care areas such as nursing stations and staff work or break rooms.
在我们的机构中,25%的 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者与感染患者或同事有更高风险的接触,14%的人报告在社区中有更高风险的接触。所有与感染患者的高风险接触都发生在非 COVID-19 病房,往往是因为最初没有怀疑 COVID-19 而导致诊断延迟。与 COVID-19 患者的高风险接触,往往涉及到在非病人护理区域(如护士站和工作人员工作或休息区)不遵守戴口罩规定的疏忽。
