No evidence of SARS-CoV-۲ transmission was shown concerning the injury using symptoms monitoring and lab test.Conclusion: The increased risk of BBF exposure during the pandemic provides insight into the need to review the prevention practices of occupational exposure during pandemics. Additional studies are required to define the risk of COVID-۱۹ related to occupational exposure to BBF.
