The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has evolved into a pandemic with more than 49 million confirmed cases and almost 1,239,000 deaths globally [1]. SARS-CoV-2 infection occurs mainly via respiratory droplets from face-to-face contact and, to a lesser extent, via contaminated surfaces [2]. The virus is highly infectious and increasing evidence of hospitalbased transmission has been observed [3]. In the United States, among the 156,306 COVID-19 health care workers, 789 have died [4]. The protection of health care workers is a challenge that calls for the development of effective measures.
