With increasing number of SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 patients to be taken
care of by the health system, more and more health workers become affected by the
disease. It has been reported that right from the beginning of the outbreak in
Lombardy up to 20% of the doctors and nurses became infected. Under these
circumstances, the regular operation of health institutions already suffering
from a shortage of staff becomes difficult. This has led to complete or partial
shutdowns of hospitals, either due to a lack of uninfected personnel or because
of uncontrollable chains of infection endangering patients. In one of the largest
university perinatal center in Bavaria with more than 3000 births per year, an
outbreak of COVID-19 occurred in March 2020, affecting 36 staff members,
including doctors, nurses, and midwives. Here, we describe the outbreak and
present the measures contributing to the successful containment of the outbreak
within three weeks. At the same time, clinical services could be maintained,
however, not without deployment of personnel exposed to employees infected with
SARS-CoV-2. Apart from massive testing of personnel in pre-defined phases and
increased hygiene measures, including a general obligation to wear surgical face
masks, we identified the need to monitor cases of illness across all groups of
employees, to ensure social distancing within personnel and to evaluate contacts
of clinical personnel outside of the hospital environment, in order to be able to
interpret chains of infections and to disrupt them. Overall, only a bundle of
measures is needed to contain such an outbreak.
