SUMMARY
Background
Globally, there have been many cases of COVID-2019 cases among medical staff, however, the main factors associated with the infection are not well understood.
Aim
To identify the super-factors causing COVID-19 infection in medical staff in China.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted between Jan. 1st, and Feb. 30th, 2020, where front line members of medical staff that took part in the care and treatment of patients with COVID-19 were enrolled. Epidemiological and demographic data between infected and uninfected groups were collected and compared. Social network analysis (SNA) was used to establish socio-metric social links between influencing factors.
