COVID-19 Epidemiological Surveillance on Healthcare Workers and Patients in a Rehabilitation Medicine Facility

The recent SARS-CoV2 pandemic has highlighted that the transmission of the virus within health care facilities plays a fundamental role in its propagation and, therefore, in the increase in COVID-19 cases registered among patients and healthcare workers. This study, original for the current lack of data on nosocomial transmission mechanisms compared to what happens in the community, proposes to conduct a study in patients, health workers and people in real-life setting. The study will be monocentric and performed at the San Raffaele Pisana Institute in Rome, that is able to guarantee the necessary number and the right case-mix that will allow to evaluate any possible correlations between infection and pre-existing disease.
