The results of the study a significant risk factor for the incidence of Covid-19 was a history of direct patient contact (OR=14.33 95%CI:4.4-53.2; p=0.000), face-to-face (OR=11,66 95%CI: 3.8-39.2; p=0.000), Direct contact with the environment where the patient is treated (OR= 4.42 95% CI: 1.73-11.4; p=0.000). Vaccination status (OR=2.04 95% CI: 0.10-123.06; p=0.557), Comorbid (OR=0.37 95% CI: 0.34-2.4; p=0.238), time of work (OR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.31- 1.53; p=0.811) not a risk factor. The most dominant factor at risk for the occurrence of Covid-19 is a history of direct contact with patients who have been confirmed to have had Covid-19.
