Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that has emerged as a pandemic now has put health care workers (HCWs) at great risk as they are the warriors in frontlines screening and treating the infected patients. When a COVID-19-positive HCW is identified, its contacts need to be traced to check the spread of the infection among patients and other HCWs.
UNASSIGNED: This study was aimed to study epidemiology and risk factors associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) infection among HCWs and to quantify the risk of infection among HCWs in a tertiary level health care setting.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study enrolled all the HCWs who were exposed to a patient with COVID-19 in a tertiary level health care center, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand from 1st May to 30th July, 2020.
UNASSIGNED: All the exposed HCWs were followed up for 14 days after the last exposure to a patient with confirmed COVID-19 infection. Epidemiological data were obtained using structured interviews.
UNASSIGNED: The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Frequencies and proportions were calculated for descriptive variables, and risk ratios were calculated for risk factors affecting the transmission of disease.
UNASSIGNED: We observed that 1,141 HCWs of the tertiary level health care hospital were exposed to COVID-19 patients during the study period. A total of 22 HCWs were tested COVID-19 positive among these exposed HCWs. Univariate analysis revealed a high risk of exposure to be significantly associated with a higher secondary attack rate of SARS CoV-2.
UNASSIGNED: The study demonstrates the risk of COVID-19 transmission through asymptomatic carriers. Therefore, periodic testing of all health care workers is necessary to ensure early mitigation of the shortage of health care providers.

摘要：
未经证实：2019年新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)已经成为一种大流行，现在已经使医护人员(HCW)面临巨大的风险，因为他们是一线筛查和治疗受感染患者的战士。当确认COVID-19阳性的HCW时，需要追踪其接触者，以检查感染在患者和其他医护人员之间的传播。
UNASSIGNED：本研究旨在研究与严重急性呼吸道综合症冠状病毒2（SARSCoV-2）感染相关的流行病学和危险因素，并量化三级卫生保健机构中HCW的感染风险。
未经评估：这项横断面研究招募了所有在三级医疗保健中心接触过COVID-19患者的医护人员，Rishikesh,北阿坎德邦从5月1日至7月30日，2020年。
未经授权：所有暴露的HCWs在最后一次暴露于确诊为COVID-19感染的患者后随访14天。流行病学数据是通过结构化访谈获得的。
UNASSIGNED：使用SPSS23.0分析数据。计算描述性变量的频率和比例，并计算影响疾病传播的危险因素的风险比。
UNASSIGNED：我们观察到，在研究期间，三级医疗保健医院的1,141名HCWs暴露于COVID-19患者。在这些暴露的医护人员中，共有22名医护人员被检测为COVID-19阳性。单变量分析显示，暴露的高风险与SARSCoV-2的较高二次发作率显着相关。
未经评估：该研究证明了COVID-19通过无症状携带者传播的风险。因此,有必要对所有卫生保健工作者进行定期测试，以确保尽早缓解卫生保健提供者的短缺。
