HCWs who did not work in isolation wards or fever clinics died from COVID-19, which may have resulted from inadequate precautions and insufficient protection in the early stages of the epidemic.
“There is news that HCWs who did not work in the isolation wards or fever clinics died from COVID-19, which may have resulted from inadequate precautions and insufficient protection in the early stages of the epidemic [39].”
From Associations between COVID-19 Work-Related Stressors and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms among Chinese Doctors and Nurses: Application of Stress-Coping Theory (2022) · cites this paper as [39]
The paper reports that 23 health care workers died and says their infections may have resulted from inadequate precautions and insufficient protection early in the epidemic. It says only two had been specifically assigned to treat COVID-19 patients and none worked in infectious-disease divisions or specialist infectious-disease hospitals, but it does not establish that the workers did not work in isolation wards or fever clinics (main text; page unavailable).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
