Healthcare workers HCWs are on front line of treating patients infected with COVID-19 However data related to infection rate among HCWs are limited Early available evidence suggested that HCWs are being increasingly infected with the novel infection ranging from 15 to 18 and in some cases up to 20 of the infected population Major risk factors of infection among HCWs include lack of understanding of the disease inadequate use and availability personal Protective Equipment PPE uncertain diagnostic criteria unavailability of diagnostic tests and psychological stress Therefore the protection of HCWs by authorities should be prioritized through education and training the readiness of staff incentives availability of PPEs and psychological support In this time of COVID-19 pandemic big problem in hospitals that are flooded with infected symptomatic and asymptomatic patients A critical aspect is the protection of the HCWs who are at risk including individuals more than 50 years old those with presence of a systemic disease smokers and disabled individuals These HCWs should be identified and not assigned duties inwards and premises managing COVID 19 patients
