Background summary
In December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak started in Wuhan, China. This virus causes the disease "Corona Virus Disease 2019" (COVID-19). In a short time, this virus has spread worldwide and has since expanded into a pandemic with exponential numbers of illnesses and deaths. This has enormous consequences for healthcare institutions, including hospitals, as isolation measures must be applied when admitting suspected and proven COVID-19 patients. To this end, these patients are admitted to an isolation room and health care workers protect themselves with personal protective equipment such as a mouth mask, splash goggles, apron and gloves. It is unknown whether there is a risk for healthcare professionals of nosocomial transmission of COVID-19 in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. This study will investigate whether the occurrence of COVID-19 infections among health care workers treating COVID-19 patients is more common than among health care workers not involved in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
