Across California, thousands of health care workers have tested positive for the deadly coronavirus. Yet, a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that transmission is relatively rare when a doctor, nurse or other worker has brief contact with a patient and is wearing appropriate protective gear.

As of April 15, local health departments in the state reported 2,974 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among health care workers — a little more than 10 percent of all reported cases. Nationally, by April 9, 9,282 cases involving health care providers had been reported out of more than 300,000 total cases.
