COVID-19 Screening Program Should be Performed inHealthcare Workers
Öz: The screening test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not been performedin healthcare workers (HCWs) yet, although HCWs are at a high risk of infection. COVID-19 is detected in 5%–15% of HCWs accordingto published studies. Nevertheless, it may be higher than the rates indicated in published studies. Based on this fact, the current recommendation of studies in the literature is to screen COVID-19 in HCWs. In this review, studies on SARS-CoV-2 screening in HCWs will bereconsidered, and the frequency and target group in whom screening should be performed will be emphasized.
