It is the time of infection that is decisive, as stated in the Danish Work Environment Authority&#8217;s assessment <a style=\"color: #001731; text-decoration-line: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/at.dk\/regler\/at-vejledninger\/vurdering-arbejdsskadesager-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guide<\/a>.

This is the case for employees in the health system, such as nurses in intensive care units, who are in direct contact with infected patients. Employees in the health and social care sector, nurses in an institution in contact with an infected resident or police officers who have been coughed in the face are also affected.<\/p>\n<p>AES updates the figures every week.
