If you're looking for information about how health care workers fared when hospitalized with COVID-19, you might come across a recent notice. This notice is an erratum, which is a formal correction to a previous publication. It doesn't contain any new data, results, or findings about the workers' health. The notice comes from the COVID-NET surveillance system, which covers hospitals in 13 states, and it specifically concerns health care personnel. Because this is a correction notice, there are no safety reports, patient outcomes, or study limitations to discuss. It's important to understand that this document exists to correct the record on a prior study, not to share new medical insights. If you want to know what the original study found, you would need to look up the corrected version of that earlier work.

Key Takeaway
Note: This is an erratum notice containing no study data or findings.
This publication is an erratum notice related to data on COVID-19-associated hospitalizations among health care personnel. The original data source was the COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET), which covers hospitals in 13 U.S. states. The notice does not describe a study design, population size, intervention, comparator, or specific outcomes. No results, effect sizes, absolute numbers, or statistical measures are reported. The erratum provides no information on safety, adverse events, or tolerability, as it is not a research report. Key limitations include the complete absence of study data and methodological details, making any clinical assessment impossible. The practice relevance is that this notice serves solely to alert readers to a correction in previously published surveillance data; clinicians must consult the corrected primary source for any information relevant to practice.
