Health-care workers are one of the most at-risk groups in Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of Covid-19 among hospital employees. Among the participants there were 58 % nurses, 12 % physicians, 26 % other wards paraclinical and 4 % service personnel. In terms of educational qualifications, 2 %, 8 %, 68 %, 12 % and 10 % had diploma, associate degree, bachelor's degree, master's degree and above, respectively. The type of ward and the number of working hours of hospital staff as well as poor hand washing increase the incidence of Covid-19. However, no significant relationship was found between the time interval between contact and infection, knowledge of the use of precautions, how to get infected, the precrisis workplace ward of Covid-19 and the shifts of employees with Covid-19 disease

The aim of this study was to compare active and passive surveillance methods. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 296 patients who were admitted to Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd from 2018 to 2020. Surveillance for signs of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) was done using passive (via pamphlet) and active (by telephone) methods in two months. Among 296 patients, SSI was seen in 67 patients (22.6 %). The frequency of SSI in active and passive methods was 65 (24 %) and 2 patients (8 %), respectively. Significant difference was seen between two care methods (p<0.05). According to these findings, the active care method was superior to passive method in diagnosis of SSI. Therefore, this method can be used for early detection of infection to reduce complications.

Covid-19 patients have coagulation complications resulting in poor prognosis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of coagulation disorders in patients with Covid-19 admitted to Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd. This study was a cross-sectional study that all patients admitted with a diagnosis of Covid-19 from the beginning of February 2020 to the end of April 2020 were examined for the frequency of coagulation dysfunctions. A total of 441 patients with Covid-19 were included in the study with a mean age of 55.4 years that 47.8 %, 25.6 % and 6.8 % had impaired Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR), respectively.
