引起2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）具有高度传染性，已在全球范围内传播。加剧传播的一个重要因素是医务人员感染SARS-CoV-2，这可能会导致治疗COVID-19所需的机构崩溃。因此，病毒从COVID-19患者传播给医务人员的可能性是首要问题。医院工作人员中的无症状COVID-19携带也可能是持续传播的一个潜在来源。在这里，我们发现，令人惊讶的是，在一家有COVID-19患者的医院工作的医务人员中没有一个人具有SARS-CoV-2的IgG抗体，这表明在这些医务人员中没有发生从患者到医务人员的病毒传播。这些结果表明，针对传染病的标准预防措施可以防止医务人员接触SARS-CoV-2，并应极大地鼓励在这一大流行前线的医务人员。
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is highly infectious and has spread worldwide. An important factor compounding spread is the infection of medical staff with SARS-CoV-2, which threatens the collapse of the very institutions required to treat COVID-19. The possibility of virus transmission from patients with COVID-19 to medical staff is thus of primary concern. Asymptomatic COVID-19 carriage among hospital staff could also be conceivable to act as a potent source of ongoing transmission. Here we show that, surprisingly, none of the medical staff working at a hospital with COVID-19 patients had IgG antibodies for SARS-CoV-2, indicating that virus transmission from patients to medical staff did not occur in these medical workers. These results show that standard preventive measures against infectious diseases can prevent SARS-CoV-2 exposure in medical staff, and should greatly encourage medical practitioners at the front line of this pandemic.
