Medical staff treating Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients are at high risk for exposure to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and many have been infected, which may cause panic among medical workers, their relatives, health professionals, and government leaders. We report the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of healthcare workers and that the majority of infected medical staff had milder symptoms/conditions with a better prognosis than admitted patients. Timely improvement to medical staff's working conditions such as allowing adequate rest and providing sufficient medical protection is extremely important.
治疗 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者的医务人员面临着感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)的高风险,许多医务人员已经被感染,这可能会引起医务人员、他们的亲属、卫生专业人员和政府领导人的恐慌。我们报告了医护人员的流行病学和临床特征,并且大多数感染的医务人员的症状/病情较轻,预后比住院患者要好。及时改善医务人员的工作条件,如允许充分休息和提供充足的医疗保护,是极其重要的。
