Health care workers (HCW) are at a higher risk of being infected in their workplace. Out of a total of 466 HCW of Hospital São Paulo with influenza-like illnesses or any clinical suspicion of COVID-19 were tested for COVID-19 by RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 169 (36%) turned out positive and were analyzed by type of exposure and hospital occupation. Data of HCW household locations were also obtained. Logistic workers had the highest positivity rate for SARS-CoV-2 (p = 0.002), while nurse technicians had the highest rate among those reporting routine contacts with patients (p = 0.001). Physicians presented the lowest rate of infection, although living in most affected districts (p < 0.001). Policies and adequate training for all hospital employees may improve prevention of COVID-19 among all health care service categories.
医护人员（HCW）在工作场所感染的风险更高。在圣保罗医院总共 466 名出现流感样疾病或任何 COVID-19 临床疑似症状的 HCW 中，有 169 名（36%）通过 RT-PCR 对 SARS-CoV-2 进行了 COVID-19 检测，结果呈阳性，并根据暴露类型和医院职业进行了分析。还获得了 HCW 家庭住址的数据。与 SARS-CoV-2 相比，劳务人员的阳性率最高（p=0.002），而报告与患者常规接触的护士技师阳性率最高（p=0.001）。尽管医生居住在受影响最严重的地区（p<0.001），但其感染率最低。对所有医院员工的政策和适当培训可能会提高所有医疗服务类别的 COVID-19 预防效果。
