Doctors, nurses, house cleaning staff and hospital ward attendants are at increased risk of acquiring coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) if there is a breach in the personal protection equipment. A new simple, easy to implement scoring system has been developed by our Suraksha Chakra team which can be used by the policy makers and hospital administrators. The scoring system is not to discourage anyone but constantly reinforce the healthcare workers for safe practices during patient care.
