In Victoria, more than 1100 healthcare workers have now been infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Some 11% of active cases are workers in the healthcare sector.

Healthcare workers are reported to be among those fighting for life in Victorian intensive care units.

While we don’t know what proportion of the Victorian healthcare workers currently infected with COVID-19 acquired it at work rather than in the community, it’s almost certain a portion of these infections were contracted in the workplace.
