Risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers with insufficient use of personal protective equipment in Denmark
Insufficient use of PPE among HCW during the pandemic in Denmark was uncommon but associated with a slightly increased risk of COVID-19 among HCW. However, the findings are uncertain due to the limited number of cases and the potential for misclassification bias stemming from the self-reported nature of the exposure.
