A new outbreak of COVID-19 disease caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome known as SARS-CoV-2 was reported on late December 2019. In March 2020, 1,528 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 136 instances died in Indonesia. Europe and North America, with cases now surpassing China, have been declared the center of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 2020, the United States ranked first (with almost 20,000 new cases), followed by Spain (with 7,000 new cases). Meanwhile, Italy has declared the country with the most substantial evidence of death due to COVID-19 in the world. Thus, the world health organization (WHO) improves the status of the COVID-19 pandemic. Occupational Safety and Health Administration publishes notes about workers who could be at risk of COVID-19 exposure, divided into four levels of risk. Very high-risk exposure levels include work that has a high potential for exposure with COVID-19, such as medical procedures or laboratory procedures. Most health workers are considered as the high-risk exposure.
