Abstract:
Lay abstract Hospitals around the globe have implemented safety measures in order to decrease the risk of spreading the virus among healthcare workers (HCWs); our aim in this study is to assess the compliance of HCWs to the safety measures introduced in our hospital and the prevalence of contracting COVID-19 among them using total anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin assay. A total of 113 physicians and 227 nurses participated in the study; results showed a high level of compliance among HCWs working in close direct care and a relatively lower level of compliance among those providing direct care. Three of the HCWs tested positive for the total immunoglobulin assay, indicating the importance of adhering to the safety measures to decrease the risk of contracting the virus.
