| The number of healthcare workers who have tested positive for the coronavirus is likely far higher than the reported tally of 9,200, and U.S. officials say they have no comprehensive way to count those who lose their lives trying to save others. The CDC released the infection tally Tuesday and said 27 health worker deaths have been recorded, based on a small number of test-result reports. Healthcare workers account for about 11% of COVID-19 infections. Of more than 310,000 forms the CDC analyzed for the report, only about 4,400 included an answer to the questions of whether a healthcare worker was treated and whether the person survived. |
