However, in addition to the presence of advanced age and comorbidity, the presence of hepatomegaly measured by CT at admission, and high LDH and CK levels were associated with poor clinical outcomes.

Exposure to COVID-19 among unvaccinated healthcare personnel and risk for infection: a single-center retrospective study
Conclusions: Given the attack rates, there was no correlation between risk levels and PCR test positivity rates. There was no difference between HCWs with or without work restrictions, in terms of PCR positivity. Due to feasibility issues, prioritizing universally applied symptom screening and resource control strategies and suspending contact tracing and work restrictions, appear to be safe during high prevalence period.
