Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is putting a strain on global healthcare systems that has never been seen before, and current infrastructures must adapt and develop to deal with the challenges. Moreover, COVID-19 poses a significant threat to healthcare workers (HCWs), potentially leading to a reduction in health-care capacity and, as a result, a decline in population health. The necessity of disease transmission protection in HCWs is evident as health systems rely on the health of their workforces. This article mainly uses a literature research method to identify some feasible strategies to reduce the risk of frontline medical workers fighting the coronavirus.
