The recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (named “COVID-2019”) has gained attention globally and has been recognized as a serious public health threat by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The first case was detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and since then, the disease has spread rapidly. As of February 28, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the outbreak of COVID-2019 as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) with 62 countries now reporting 85,176 confirmed cases (79,250 of which have been in mainland China) and 2,919 deaths to date. However, information about the health systems and health professionals’ preparedness for combating the 2019-nCoV is not known. Therefore, their awareness and preparedness in managing the 2019-nCoV infection are important to prevent the further spread of the disease. This is a multicenter multinational survey aiming to assess the level of preparedness of hospital staff and practices regarding COVID-2019 all over the world and their preparedness to deal with the outbreak. It will also measure the level of awareness of hospital staff about the crisis and how will they react to limit and prevent further transmission.
