The study aimed to identify the possible causes of COVID-19 outbreak and its development in a general hospital in Almaty (from April 11 to May 6, 2020), where 682 persons were identified with a COVID-19. 546 were hospital employees (48.9%), including doctors (57.8%), nurses (53.4%), junior medical personnel (54.4%) and other personnel (23.3%), and also among 136 patients. The attack rate among women was 50.0%, and incidence rate was higher amongst young employees < 30 years old (57.0%).
