A Dynamic Response to Exposures of Health Care Workers to Newly Diagnosed COVID-19 Patients or Hospital Personnel, in Order to Minimize Cross-Transmission and the Need for Suspension From Work During the Outbreak.

Relatively short exposures of HCWs, even if only either the worker or the patient wears a mask, probably pose a very low risk for infection. This allowed us to perform strict follow-up of exposed HCWs in these exposures, combined with repeated testing, instead of suspension from work.
