cord-257468-woyycghi	Basso, Trude	Transmission of infection from non-isolated patients with COVID-19 to health care workers	2020-08-20		.txt	text/plain	1824	114	59	This study evaluated transmission of infection from a symptomatic patient with COVID-19 to 60 HCWs exposed ≤2 m for ≥15 minutes, or during aerosol generating procedures. Following ≥106 unique high-risk contacts, none of the HCWs tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA or had developed antibodies. These results were in accordance with other reports and should reassure HCWs and further stimulate a broader evaluation of the foundation for the current practice of home-quarantine of non-symptomatic HCWs. During the Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, the proportion of health care workers (HCWs) amongst verified, infected individuals, has been reported somewhere between 10 and 20 % [1, 2] . In this study we found that ≥106 unique close contact exposures, including 12 contacts during AGPs with a nonisolated patient with COVID-19, resulted in no SARS-CoV-2 transmissions from patient to HCWs. With one exception, all included HCWs were certain or quite certain that their adherence to the hand hygiene procedure had been proper at the time of exposure.	./cache/cord-257468-woyycghi.txt	./txt/cord-257468-woyycghi.txt
