Examination of factors affecting SARS-CoV-2 transmission among healthcare workers following a large healthcare-associated outbreak of COVID-19 in North West Tasmania
Our study identified important associations between COVID-19 acquisition and age, work frequency, and direct contact with COVID-19 patients. However, the small sample size of IPC measures meant our study was inadequately powered to determine the significance of these associations with COVID-19 acquisition.
