According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 81 U.S. healthcare workers are known to have contracted the H1N1 virus. The report was released in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and suggested that at least half of the known cases were related to working in a healthcare setting. The study recommends that an effort be made to identify patients suspected of having the virus be identified at the front door and hospital staff begin taking increased preventive measures.
