Safety of health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond: piloting WHO framework in Iran
Even though the mental health of HWs was not as expected, the indicators related to physical health and occupational health were at a suitable level. Also, there is not a system in PHC to audit the application of safety measures to mitigate the risk of contracting COVID-19. We recommend creating a specific system (precise and detailed) for HWs' safety and applying safety measures in the PHC routine programs.
