Abstract
A broad-based SARS-CoV-2 testing program for all symptomatic healthcare workers (HCWs) was implemented in Tenon hospital, Paris, France. From February 26 to April 22, 2020, 701 symptomatic HCWs were screened, of whom 247 (35.2%) tested positive for SARS-Cov-2. Myalgia, fever, anosmia and ageusia were associated with RT-PCR positivity. Testing of HCWs is an essential step toward control of the epidemic. Further studies could establish clinical algorithms for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis to compensate for RT-PCR test and chest CT limits or unavailability.Entities:
