Bu teknik notun amacı, sağlık çalışanlarında COVID-19 temas riskini doğru bir şekilde sınıflandıran güvenilir, hızlı uyarlanabilir ve kullanımı kolay bir matris önermektir. Araştırmacılar, üniversite hastanesi sürveyans ekibinin deneyimlerinden ve literatürlerden yararlanarak bir matris oluşturmuşlardır. Bu matris, bir üniversite hastanesinde sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 vakaları birçok farklı temas durumunu Yüksek / Orta / Düşük Risk olarak sınıflandırmasına olanak tanır. Sağlık çalışanı temas riski sınıflandırmasında üç ana başlık öne çıkmıştır: Ortamın havalandırılmasından kaynaklanan farklılıklar: İç mekân, iyi havalandırılan iç mekân, dış mekân; doğrudan temas veya ortak malzeme kullanımı; aerosol oluşturma prosedürü. Matris, sürveyans ekibi üyeleri tarafından hızla adapte olunmuş ve kullanımı kolaydır.

The aim of this technical note is to propose a reliable, fast-adaptable and easy-to-use matrix that accurately classifies risk for contact tracing of healthcare workers with COVID-19 patients. The researchers have created a matrix with the support of the literature and their experience within the university hospital surveillance team. This matrix enables a detailed High / Medium / Low Risk classification of contacts of healthcare workers with COVID-19 cases, covering many different contact situations encountered in a university hospital. Three main headings have come to the fore in health worker contact risk classification: Differences caused by the ventilation of the environment: Indoors, well ventilated indoors, outdoors; direct contact or material sharing; aerosol generating procedure. The matrix is quickly adapted by surveillance team members and is easy to use.
