A bstract Background Burnout, a state of physical and emotional exhaustion, in healthcare workers (HCWs) is a major concern. The prevalence of burnout, due to COVID-19 pandemic in India, is unknown. We therefore conducted this survey. Materials and methods A questionnaire-based survey using Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was carried out among HCWs looking after COVID-19 patients. Questionnaire was sent to the HCWs, using WhatsApp Messenger, and voluntary participation was sought. We received responses from 2026 HCWs. Burnout was assessed in personal, work, and client-related (COVID-19 pandemic-related) domains. Burnout was defined at a cut-off score of 50 for each domain. Results The prevalence of personal burnout was 44.6% (903), work-related burn-out was only 26.9% (544), while greater than half of the respondents (1,069, 52.8%) had pandemic-related burnout. Younger respondents (21–30 years) had higher personal and work-related burnout. The prevalence of personal and work-related burnout was significantly ( p < 0.01) higher among females. The doctors were 1.64 times, and the support staff were 5 times more likely to experience pandemic-related burnout. Conclusion There is a significant prevalence of burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic among HCWs, in particular, doctors and support staff. Female respondents had higher prevalence. We suggest that the management should be proactive and supportive in improving working conditions and providing assurance to the HCWs. The long-term effects of the current pandemic need to be assessed later. How to cite this article Khasne RW, Dhakulkar BS, Mahajan HC, Kulkarni AP.

World Restart a Heart (WRAH) initiative has become an outstanding 13 success over the last three years. The messaging about the impor-14 tance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been spread to 15 more than 200 million people in over 194 countries during this time. 16 In 2020, established activities such as mass training events were not 17 possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, participants had 18 to become creative to keep the campaign alive.19 "All citizens of the world can save a life". This original mission 20 statement for WRAH continues to be the theme of the global initiative 21 -to increase awareness and therefore the rates of bystander CPR 22 for victims of cardiac arrest. 1 Fundamental to this approach is that 23 an increase in bystander resuscitation rates can increase survival 24 rates up to threefold. 2 25 The first WRAH in 2018 was a huge success. Over 675,000 peo-26 ple were trained in resuscitation and 12.7 million were reached via 27 social media. 3 In 2019, with the slogan "iconic places", #worldrestar-28 taheart reached 206 million people on social media. At least 5.4 mil-29 lion people were trained in resuscitation worldwide. 4 30 WRAH in 2020 was different due to the worldwide coronavirus 31 pandemic. The motto was "Your two hands can save a life", but 32 mass resuscitation events were not possible in many countries. 33 Thus, our initiative had to become creative and implement new 34 strategies for success. 35 One of the most successful ideas for 2020 was the 36 "#MySongCanSaveLives" campaign. Famous national and interna-37 tional artists whose songs align with the appropriate rate for resusci-38 tation (100-120 BPM) were contacted. They were invited to post the 39 song on social media platforms with the #MySongCanSaveLives 40 hashtag, and thus spread the message to all their followers on and 41 around
