BACKGROUND: Limited information is available about COVID-19 infections among
health care workers. Sensitive detection of COVID-19 cases in health care workers
is crucial for hospital infection prevention policy, particularly for those who
work with vulnerable patients. The aim of this study is to describe the
prevalence of positive COVID-19 among asymptomatic health care workers who took
care of patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic. METHODS: This retrospective
study included all health care workers at King Abdullah University Hospital who
take care of patients infected with COVID-19 patients from March 18, 2020 to
April 29, 2020. They were tested for COVID-19 infection by use of real-time
reverse-transcriptase rRT-PCR on samples from nasopharyngeal swabs. RESULTS: A
total number of 370 health care workers were screened. The majority were nurses
followed by physicians and other personnel. This study showed that all
asymptomatic health care workers were tested negative for COVID-19Q. CONCLUSION:
Unexpectedly, the prevalence of positive COVID-19 among asymptomatic health care
workers who take care of patients infected with the novel coronavirus was 0%.
This result must be cautiously interpreted. Further studies are needed in order
to find effective strategy of screening health care workers to insure a safe
working environment.
