CI confidence interval.

*0, 1–10 patients, 11–20 patients, more than 20 patients, as the number of patients to care increases from a small group to a large group.

**0, 1–29 days, 30–59 days, 60–89 days, more than 90 days, as the number of days of care for COVID-19 patients increases from a small group to a large group.

***No, less than 30 min, 30 min–2 h, 2–6 h, more than 6 h, as the contact time with COVID-19 patients per day increases from a small group to a large group.
