No other remote worker demographic is more at risk right now that healthcare workers. Literally, on the front lines of the COVID-19 battle, healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses are treating those with the deadly virus, selflessly putting their lives on the line to do so. This is evident in the fact that as of April 15, more than 9,000 healthcare workers have contracted COVID-19.
While still a dangerous place to work, hospitals are more predictable and potentially less dangerous than the homes of patients where home healthcare workers venture, often alone, to provide needed care.
