ABSTRACT

The coronavirus 2019 pandemic has lead to never existing demands on the modern health care system, and the highly transmissible nature of the virus has led to particular concerns of infection among health care workers. While strong data regarding the contagious nature of the infection aren't yet widely available, preliminary information suggests risk of transmission among asymptomatic individuals, including those within health care facilities.
