Health care workers who worked in COVID-19 wards more likely to contract virus, but from each other

They found that frontline workers interacting with COVID-19 patients were four times more likely to be infected than those in other areas of the medical center. However, instead of primarily contracting the virus from patients, the workers were spreading the virus among each other
