3.5.7. Health Care Workers in Transplant Teams

Any transplant team member with symptoms of a viral infection should undergo the appropriate testing, and avoid exposure to patients as long as symptoms persist or while the test result is pending. For transplant team members, there are also risks during exposure to transplant recipients potentially spreading viral infections with larger quantities of virus (super-shedders or super-spreaders) and/or prolonged viral shedding [38].
