Barriers to COVID-19 Testing Reported by Health Care Workers during the First Wave at an Academic Center in Boston, MA.

Abstract

Healthcare workers (HCWs) experience barriers to COVID-19 testing specific to their perceptions of access, and employment factors. A survey was sent to all employees at one Boston hospital to examine their perceived barriers to testing. HCWs who reported difficulty paying their bills were less likely to receive a COVID-19 test.
