A large number of cases occurred among health care workers HCW which were contracted within the health care facilities Some of the HCWs even died from the COVID-19 disease Moreover it was reported that unrecognized asymptomatic patients transferred to their family or close contacts All these factors were alarming and potentially distressing for the hospital staff who worked during the pandemic
