Pages

  129-136

Abstract

 Background: The health of healthcare workers (HCWs) is an indicator of the quality of health service provision during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives: This study aimed to describe the symptomatology and positivity of COVID-19 infection and the type of COVID-19 care received among HCWs in a North-Central State in Nigeria. Methods: This was a retrospective review of HCWs tested for COVID-19 as retrieved from the Surveillance Outbreak Response Management System between April 2020 and March 2021 in Kwara State, Nigeria. Results: Among the 1453 HCWs, 831 (57. 2%) were above 35 years, and 874 (60. 2%) were females. Among the 259 HCWs who tested positive for COVID-19, 122 (23. 8%) lived in urban areas (χ, 2 = 13. 94, P ≤,0. 001). Also, 83 (30. 7%) of symptomatic persons tested positive for COVID-19 (χ,2 = 37. 766, P ≤,0. 001). Overall, 33 (12. 7%) of the 259 positive HCWs received hospital-based COVID-19 care, and 33 (16. 1%) who had less than 2 Symptoms received hospital-based COVID-19 care (χ, 2 = 9. 962, P = 0. 002). HCWs who had cough had three times odds of testing positive for COVID-19 (OR = 3. 299, 95% CI = 1. 571–, 6. 927, P = 0. 002). Also, HCWs who manifested loss of taste had three times odds of testing positive for COVID-19 (OR = 3. 392, 95% CI = 1. 010–, 11. 393, P = 0. 048). Conclusion: COVID-19 testing should be encouraged among HCWs, especially those with cough Symptoms and loss of taste.
