The results show a striking save of over 8000 lost working days for health and social care staff over a period of just 3 weeks which is likely to have a significant impact on the ability of health systems to respond to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. ./cache/cord-273898-i7icvsg1.txt ./txt/cord-273898-i7icvsg1.txt
