Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by a distinct coronavirus, is an acute infectious disease that spreads mainly via the respiratory route. During the COVID-19 outbreak, many healthcare systems faced a severe burden when a large number of healthcare workers (HCWs) became infected due to the lack of adequate protection. Consequently, it was apparent that it is important to ensure the health and safety of HCWs in order to control the outbreak throughout society. In this article, we share our successful protocol for protecting the safety of HCWs in the course of their daily work in an orthopedics department with the aim of eventually reducing the risk of nosocomial infection. None of our HCWs or their families contracted the infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)由一种独特的冠状病毒引起,是一种主要通过呼吸道传播的急性传染病。在COVID-19疫情期间,由于缺乏足够的防护措施,大量医护人员感染,许多医疗系统面临着沉重负担。因此,显然为了控制整个社会的疫情,确保医护人员的健康和安全至关重要。在本文中,我们分享了我们在骨科日常工作中保护医护人员安全的成功方案,目的是最终降低医院感染风险。在COVID-19大流行期间,我们的医护人员及其家属均未感染。
