The devastating effect of SARS-CoV-2 is still ongoing around the globe (WHO, 2019). Virus-infected patients are either asymptomatic or have the disease, with clinical course ranging from mild to severe (Yang et al. 2020). HCWs have a higher risk of encountering SARS-CoV-2. The higher risk comes from likely contact with patients carrying high viral loads and virus-infected stuff in the hospitals. Infection rates rise up to 14% in symptomatic and 7.1% in asymptomatic HCWs. These rates are higher than the general population reported so far and suggest an occupational risk (Shields et al. 2020).
