To assess the risk of COVID-19 infection, the exposure-risk category and underlying conditions and their relationship with a positive PCR result were examined. Exposure-risk categories, which is based on whether patients and healthcare professionals use personal protective equipment, were assessed using Interim U.S. Guidance for Risk The basic reproduction number (R0: the number of people a single patient is expected to infect) for COVID-19 is estimated at 2.2 (1.4-3.9). 6,7 Therefore, the CCI was used in this study to assess the risk conferred by underlying diseases for COVID-19. No patient in the low-exposure risk category or with high-risk underlying conditions was infected with SARS-CoV-2 at this hospital.
