Should we avoid colleagues in leisure time during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic?

To the Editor— Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a significant occupational threat for healthcare workers (HCWs).1 The high number of infected HCWs has been explained with occupational exposure to severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Hospitals have implemented infection control measures including proper personal protective equipment (PPE), universal masking in hospitals, and safety distance between coworkers to reduce the transmission.2,3 However, studies of HCW exposure to COVID-19 outside the workplace have not been published.
