The COVID-19 pandemic verifies the preparation of medical care in individual countries in terms of the fluent of guaranteed medical services provided to the people in need. Due to the easy spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus when in direct contact with the patients, health care workers are at an increased risk of infection. Nurses and auxiliary staff, as well as medical doctors, were most frequently infected. The prevalence of infection depends on the adopted reporting method, including the diagnostic test used to recognize the infection, the nature of the work performed, but also on the gender, knowledge, and individual behavior of employees while performing their professional duties. It ranges from 5-30% depending on the country and the occupational group, and the highest rates were recorded in the initial phase of the pandemic. A review of the literature shows the lack of a uniform, transparent system of reporting infections in health care workers, which makes a reliable assessment of the epidemiological situation in this area difficult.
新冠疫情从为有需要的民众提供医疗服务流畅性的角度，检验了各国的医疗保健准备情况。由于直接接触患者时 SARS-CoV-2 病毒传播容易，医护人员感染的风险增加。护士和辅助人员以及医生最常受到感染。感染的流行率取决于所采用的报告方法，包括用于识别感染的诊断测试、所从事的工作性质，但也取决于员工在履行其专业职责时的性别、知识和个人行为。根据国家和职业群体的不同，感染率在 5-30%之间，在疫情的初始阶段记录的感染率最高。文献回顾表明，医护人员感染报告缺乏统一、透明的系统，这使得难以对该领域的流行病学情况进行可靠评估。
