Transmission of SARS CoV2 among health careworkers (HCW) during three waves of the SARS-CoV 2 pandemic in Germany: Results of an anonymous survey
New publication in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology
An anonymous survey was conducted by mass e-mail in German hospitals to determine whether healthcare personnel (HCP) were at increased risk of contracting coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) while caring for patients with COVID-19 disease during the pandemic or whether healthcare infection prevention and control measures were effective in preventing transmission. In summary unprotected contacts off work and with undiagnosed patients or fellow health care workers (HCW) during work seem to be a major driver of SARS-CoV2-infections among HCWs, making general protective measures a necessity at least until fully vaccination protection is achieved.
