Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> There is insufficient evidence regarding the role of respirators in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We analysed the impact of filtering facepiece class 2 (FFP2) vs . surgical masks on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 acquisition among Swiss healthcare workers (HCW). <h4>Methods</h4> Our prospective multicentre cohort enrolled patient-facing HCWs from June to August 2020.
