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.
