Lastly, participants were asked about their concerns, satisfaction with their department response, and perceived level of risk for residents and attendings for contracting COVID-19. Satisfaction level was strongly correlated with comfort in communicating their concerns (r = 0.72, P < .00001) and inversely correlated with resident perception of increased risk of contracting COVID-19 relative to attendings (r = −0.52, P < .00001).	./cache/cord-348976-hgty4t7c.txt	./txt/cord-348976-hgty4t7c.txt
