Abstract

Current pandemic poses an immense burden on healthcare systems [1,2]. Emergency rooms accept an augmented number of visits and the needs for hospitalisation have risen tremendously. This has forced the urgent transformation of several hospital wards, or even entire hospitals, to COVID-19 dedicated ones. Under these conditions the needs for healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, cleaners and all other staff involved) are higher than usual as well.
