#HealthWorkers are on the frontline of the #COVID19 response & exposed to hazards that put them at risk of infection. Risks incl:
-Pathogen
-Long working hours
-Psychological distress

Major occupational risks for #COVID19 infection among #HealthWorkers are:
-Late diagnosis of #COVID-19 in patients
