As of May 31st, over three months into the pandemic, nearly 5,500 positive HCWs were reported to LAC DPH, representing 9.6% of all cases. All LAC residents who test positive for COVID-19 are interviewed by LAC DPH using a standardized form that identifies if the case-patient worked in a high-risk environment, such as a healthcare setting. From case-patient interviews and/or emailed reports, LAC DPH recorded occupational setting, occupational role, date of symptom onset, date last worked, known exposure, and if hospitalized for each HCW. At the end of April, HCWs represented 12.8% of all LAC cases, whereas only 9.6% at the end of May. When asked if they had a known exposure to COVID-19, (Table 3) , healthcare exposures within their facility accounted for nearly 44%, including contact with either a positive patient, co-worker, or both.	./cache/cord-326297-0r9pex1o.txt	./txt/cord-326297-0r9pex1o.txt
