Hazard ratios and the 95% CIs for HCWs to acquire SARS-CoV-2 after using SPM and IPM for patient contact and HCW contact (i.e., contact with positive HCWs) during COVID-19 outbreak in hospital ward, Switzerland, October–November 2020. The multivariable model combined patient contact using SPM and IPM and HCW contact. HCW, healthcare worker; HR, hazard ratio; IPM, isolation precaution measures; SPM, standard precaution measures.
