What are the sources of exposure in healthcare personnel with coronavirus disease 2019 infection
2020
In our facility, 25% of personnel with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a higher-risk exposure to an infected patient or co-worker and 14% reported a higher-risk exposure in the community All higher-risk exposures to infected patients occurred on non-COVID-19 units, often when there was a delay in diagnosis because COVID-19 was not initially suspected Higher-risk exposures to co-workers with COVID-19 often involved lapses in compliance with masking in non-patient care areas such as nursing stations and staff work or break rooms
