What fraction health care workers contract COVID-19?
What fraction of health care workers contract COVID-19? Does anyone know of empirical evidence? Ideally, I知 looking for a reference to a study involving type of work, e.g., ER in close contact vs. receptionist greeting random sick people etc., and illness rates. Is it higher than in the general population?

This is evolving. Originally there was a high percentage of medical staff (30%) being infected by sars-cov-2 in Wuhan but as the mode of transmission became clearer and ppe better, this has now improved so that no cases were reported outside of Hubei in China though it's being reported outside of China. Disease was also more severe in medical staff for unclear reasons and may relate to viral load exposure.
