Document: MERS-CoV infection in healthcare workers. The 3 patterns of MERS-CoV transmission suggested in the literature include the following: a) sporadic cases occurring in communities; b) transmission within families; and c) nosocomial transmission. 20 Healthcarerelated MERS-CoV transmission is associated with high morbidity, extended use of mechanical ventilation and fatality rates of up to 65%; this type of transmission can be attributed to shortcomings in observing stringent infection control protocols. 4, 6, 15, 21 Furthermore, MERS-CoV has been reported to be viable in hospitallike environments for up to 48 hours with a stability that is unaltered during aerosolization. 22 Among 200 healthcare workers' contacts identified in Al-Hassa, Saudi Arabia, MERS-CoV infection was confirmed in 2 cases. 4 A Saudi study 20 compared healthcare worker and family contact with laboratory-confirmed MERS-CoV patients and reported a lower rate (1.12%) of infection among the healthcare workers than among the families (3.4%).
