COVID-19 and mortality in doctors	2020-09-03		.txt	text/plain	2191	134	58	BACKGROUND AND AIMS: COVID-19 disease appear to have been associated with significant mortality amongst doctors and health care workers globally. Until an effective cure/vaccine is developed, risk assessments at work, mitigating confounding factors, adequate supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) and enhanced protection against infection are necessary to protect health care professionals on the coronavirus frontline. COVID-19 has caused a huge burden and loss to the world with doctors bearing the brunt of physical burnout, mental stress, occupational risk of infection with increased risk of morbidity and mortality, being the front-line workers. [30] • As such lack of COVID-19 safe facilities, resources, availability of appropriate PPE and lack of uniform application of infection prevention strategies remain cause of concerns and an occupational risk for health care professionals in India. There is lack of uniform database on morbidity and mortality statistics due to COVID-19 amongst doctors and health care workers globally.	./cache/cord-274849-awv8sp8m.txt	./txt/cord-274849-awv8sp8m.txt
