COVID Evaluation of Risk in Emergency Departments (COVERED) Project
Finding ways to reduce the risk of COVID-19 acquisition by emergency health care providers is one of the highest priorities in response to this pandemic—that’s how we will maintain a healthy and confident workforce to care for the patients who need us.
COVID Evaluation of Risk in Emergency Departments (COVERED) Project
The COVID-19 Evaluation of Risk in Emergency Departments (COVERED) Project will measure the risk of COVID-19 acquisition by front-line emergency department personnel in 20 academic US medical centers and identify ways to reduce that risk. This project was developed as a collaboration between EMERGEncy IDNet, a CDC-collaborative emergency department-based emerging infectious disease sentinel network, and the National Emergency Airway Registry (NEAR), the largest prospective emergency department-based airway network.
