The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents an important and urgent threat to global health.
Healthcare personnel especially those who care for patients at the intensive care units are facing heavy
workloads and high risk of infection. Healthcare workers who contact with COVID-19 patients are divided into
risk groups according to the characteristics of the procedures they perform during contact, as well as the usage
of personal protective equipment. Suggestions for healthcare workers' risk assessments and recommendations
for monitoring based on COVID-19 exposure risk are given in this article.
