Clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcome of medical staff infected with COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. A retrospective single-center study.

Conclusion: The incidence of COVID-19 infection among medical staff is quite high, but the occurrence of extreme illness and death is significantly low compared with the general community. Training should be implemented for all hospital staff on infection prevention techniques. Reliable and quick access for testing medical personnel is essential to maintain health, safety, and availability of health care workers during this pandemic. PMID: 33294892 [PubMed - in process]
