Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: to analyze the frequency and associated risk factors for COVID-19 infection and the availability of Personal Protective Equipment used by primary healthcare workers.
METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted over six months in Rio Grande do Sul. Descriptive analysis was performed, with the comparison of independent samples using Pearson\'s Chi-square test and Fisher\'s Exact test (p<.05).
RESULTS: the study included 206 (27%) healthcare workers who presented COVID-19 symptoms. There was a statistical association for the following variables: availability of surgical masks (p=.003), seeking information on the correct use of personal protective equipment (p=.045), having attended people with flu-like syndrome (p=.024), and believing that the highest risk of contamination is when attending a patient positive for coronavirus disease (p=.001).
CONCLUSIONS: the availability of personal protective equipment is indispensable for COVID-19 prevention, with special emphasis on the use of surgical masks. Furthermore, the study highlighted the importance of providing Personal Protective Equipment in conjunction with guidance on its use.
CONCLUSIONS: (1) Highlighted impacts on the distribution of PPE necessary for worker safety.(2) Emphasized the need for training and education regarding the use of PPE.(3) Found significance regarding the availability of surgical masks.(4) Identified the need for further research on health safety topics.(5) Revealed a high incidence of symptomatic workers and positive cases of COVID-19.

摘要：
目的：分析COVID-19感染的频率和相关危险因素，以及基层医护人员使用个人防护设备的可用性。
方法：在南里奥格兰德州进行了为期六个月的横断面研究。进行描述性分析，独立样本的比较采用Pearson卡方检验和Fisher精确检验(p<.05)。
结果：该研究包括206名（27%）出现COVID-19症状的医护人员。以下变量存在统计关联：外科口罩的可用性(p=0.003)，寻求有关正确使用个人防护设备的信息（p=.045），曾参加流感样综合征患者（p=.024），并认为最高的污染风险是在接受冠状病毒病阳性患者就诊时（p=.001）。
结论：个人防护装备的可用性对于预防COVID-19是必不可少的，特别强调使用外科口罩。此外，该研究强调了提供个人防护设备及其使用指南的重要性。
结论：（1）强调了对工人安全所必需的PPE分布的影响。(2)强调需要就个人防护装备的使用进行培训和教育。(3)发现关于外科口罩的可用性的意义。（4）确定需要进一步研究健康安全主题。（5）显示有症状的工人和COVID-19阳性病例的发生率很高。
