Abstract
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
