Overall, 159 HCWs (25%) reported at least 1 episode of discrimination involving themselves, their colleagues or family members. Sadly, the "not in my backyard" principle seems to apply to HCWs, who are celebrated as long as they stay confined in hospitals, and this discrimination is also being extended to their families. Healthcare systems administrators and policy-makers should employ every means to minimize the risk of infection among HCWs by providing adequate PPE and training. There is a good chance that as long as we are presented as heroes continuously facing death, we will suffer discrimination; such portrayal erroneously belabours the risk of being infected by HCWs, making it seem a very probable option.	./cache/cord-028273-22swinc6.txt	./txt/cord-028273-22swinc6.txt
