CDC看着Covid-19的传输到医疗保健工作者

在美国疾病控制和预防中心发表的两项研究中探讨了冠状病毒疾病2019年(Covid-19)到医疗保健人员(HCP)发病率和死亡率每周报告

加州公共卫生部医学博士Amy Heinzerling及其同事分析并比较了一名入院患者接受治疗后出现和没有出现COVID-19的HCP接触情况,该患者接受了多种产生气溶胶的程序,随后检测出严重急性呼吸综合征呈阳性在第二所医院获得2个SARS-CoV-2病例。采访了37名SARS-CoV-2检测的HCP,包括3名检测呈阳性。研究人员发现,实验室确诊的COVID-19 HCP更经常进行体检,并在雾化治疗期间与患者接触;他们接触病人的时间也更长。所有的HCP都没有磨损

Sherry L. Burrer, M.P.H., from the CDC COVID-19 Response Team, and colleagues describe the characteristics of HCP with COVID-19 during Feb. 12 to April 9, 2020. The researchers found that among 315,531 COVID-19 cases reported to CDC, 9,282 patients were identified as HCP. Fifty-five percent of the HCP patients reported contact with a COVID-19 patient only in the healthcare setting. Eight percent did not report symptoms, but 92 percent reported at least one of fever, cough, or shortness of breath.
