Yes of course because of their contact and dealings with the injured.

Yes, health care workers get exposed to SARS-cov2 as well as whole array of other infectious diseases daily as a part of the profession hazards. They are trained and practice safety measures adequately. But what a health care professional is not trained at is to bear the burnt of the failure of the public policy to contain the infections and the increased menace of workplace violence among the caregivers. Just think them as human, who gets burnout and never as a God. Hope to see a beautiful world someday.

Thank you so much dear sir dr Sumanta Chakraborty

Yes , many doctors were affected because of direct regular contact with the patients and unfortunately, we lost many of them .

I am agree with Dr @Sumanta Chakraborty

Thank you so much dear lady Diana Ahmed Ali

Thank you so much dear sir dr Sujit Barman

Thank you so much dear sir professor dr Ali A. Al-Homaidan

Thank you so much for all RG members

yes very much exposed especially if they are not provided with PPEs and other safety equipment as they do not know when a coronavirus patient will visit their facility

Yes ..... Health workers and doctors can be infected with the virus because they are closer to patients than the general population, and health workers have experienced infections

Ofcourse yes

While new discoveries continue to be made about COVID-19, early reports indicate that person-to-person transmission most often occurs during close contact with an individual infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are not only at higher risk of infection but can also amplify outbreaks within healthcare facilities if they become ill.

Yes! Please see the following RG link.

Yes health workers are more vulnerable to COVID19.

Thank you so much dear dr Manal Hadi Kanaan

Thank you so much dear dr Anwar A. Abdulla

Thank you so much dear dr Sonia Morya

Thank you so much for all RG members

Yes, they are more likely to become infected due to direct contact with patients with COVID-19.

Thank you so much sir Dr Isam Alkhalifawi

Yes! For example, more health workers are infected by the diseases in my country.

Dear Rasha Majid Abd Ulameer Alhumairi

Thank you for raising the topic. In every country, an example can be cited when hundreds of doctors fall ill with covid-19. It's not even a precautionary measure. The virus always finds a gap in protection during prolonged contact. Maybe this situation will change when the vaccine is developed. Regards, Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich

Thank you so much dear sir dr Jasim Hassen

Thank you so much dear sir dr Solomon Mengistie

Thank you so much dear sir dr Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich

Yes, health workers are very much at risk. In fact, 10% of all infections in the World are health workers. They need protection to help us recover from the disease if you are infected.

Yes, of course,

Defiantly yes, many health workers have been infected by novel coronavirus in different countries.

They are at greater risk than others of all types of infection

Thank you so much dear sir dr Okuthe P Kogeda

Thank you so much dear Sura Aldewachi

Thank you so much dear sir dr Sujan Mahapatra

Thank you so much for all RG members

Yes, they are. It is because of the accumulation of virus in their workplace.

Thank you so much dear sir dr Falih Al-Emara

Indeed! Health workers are more exposed to the infection bcos they are handling the victims of covid 19. Also, inadequate supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) resulted in high vulnerability of the health workers to covid-19 among other factors.

Any health worker dealing with infectious diseases including COVID-19 in the hospital, are at a risk of acquiring the infection.

Thank you so much dear sir dr Foad Alzoughool

Thank you dear Assist Lec.Tuqa Abdul Kareem Hameed

Yes, they are at risk by virtue of their work near the sick.

We should thank health workers.

Thank you so much dear sir dr Mundher Alsaaidi منذر السعيدي

Healthcare workers have emerged as a vulnerable population group during COVID-19, and securing supply chains of personal protective equipment (PPE) has been identified as a critical issue to protect healthcare workers and to prevent health system overwhelm.

Thank you so much dear Dr Sonia Morya

I would even say that health workers are the most exposed to this new coronavirus, because they are in constant contact with the sick. Many were infected, some recovered, others did not survive.

Yes always

Depending on the development of health centers, the risk varies.

Definitely, health care workers at great risk of developing the infection. As they are getting infection in a setting where the viral load is much more ; they are at risk of getting severe type of infection if unable to take due care.

Very much at risk and many have died especially at the beginning before preventative gadgets like masks were available in great numbers.

Thank you so much dear prof Malangori Parande

Thank you so much dear sir dr Michael Issigonis

Thank you so much dear Noor Mahdi

Todos los trabajadores de salud están expuestos a contraer enfermedades por bacterias, virus u otros. Por eso deben protegerse, pensar que toda persona enferma esta infectada, las medidas de bioseguridad deben ser siempre cumplidas para evitar contagiarse y contagiar a sus compañeros o a los pacientes que estan a su cargo.

Thank you so much dear sir Dr Sonia Olinda Velasquez Rondon

Thank you so much for all RG members

Yes of course as they are at close contact with the patients and heavy viral load environments
