 This study examined the risk of healthcare workers contracting COVID-19 after coming into contact with patients diagnosed with the virus. It was found that those who had more frequent or prolonged contact with patients were at higher risk of developing the virus. Additionally, those who did not wear face masks or had multiple contacts were also at greater risk. This suggests that it is important to identify and monitor high-risk contacts in order to control the spread of the virus. This article was authored by C.Phi Dermas, A.J.
