Abstract

What is already known about this topic?: Healthcare workers (HCWs) and previously infected patients (PIPs) may experience a wave of epidemic following the modification of the country's coronavirus disease (COVID)-zero policy in China.

What is added by this report?: As of early January 2023, the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic among HCWs had effectively subsided, with no statistically significant differences observed in infection rates compared to those of their co-occupants. The proportion of reinfections among PIPs was relatively low, particularly in those with recent infections.

What are the implications for public health practice?: Medical and health services have resumed normal operations. For patients who have recently experienced severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, appropriate relaxation of policies may be considered.

关于这个话题我们已经知道了什么?:在中国修改“零冠状病毒”政策后，医护人员和既往感染患者可能会经历一波疫情。这份报告增加了什么内容?截至2023年1月初，新冠肺炎疫情在医护人员中的第一波流行已经有效消退，其感染率与同住人员的感染率无统计学差异。pip患者的再感染比例相对较低，特别是那些最近感染的患者。这对公共卫生实践有什么影响?*医疗和保健服务已恢复正常运作。对于近期发生严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)感染的患者，可考虑适当放宽政策。
