The state of Guanajuato in Mexico has a high prevalence of COVID-19 cases, significantly affecting healthcare workers due to their contact with infected patients. It was made a review of the literature on seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare workers, and it was found a significant association between seropositivity and the type of work unit, as well as community exposure, while training in the proper use of personal protective equipment demonstrated a preventive and protective effect against SARS-CoV-2. These findings highlight the importance of healthcare workers adequately protecting themselves both in their work environment and in the community, not only in Guanajuato state.
