There is no systematic and standardized record of the number of nurses or healthcare workers who have contracted the COVID-19 or died from it.
More than 600 nurses worldwide are known to have died from COVID-19, which has infected an estimated 450,000 health-care workers, the International Council of Nurses said on Wednesday.
ICN’s reported that on average 7% of all Covid-19 cases worldwide are among HCWs, means that around 450,000 of the world’s over six million cases could be among nurses and other staffs, which means are at great personal risk, and so are the patients they care for.
