Exactly. The family members caught it while giving care to other family members, but a nurse is trained to use universal precautions (assume all patients and clinical samples are infectious and handle accordingly). Infection of a HCW signals more efficient human to human transmission because the transmission happened to a trained nurse. Family members are less likely to use such precautions because of daily media reports denying human to human transmission as well as WHO's failure to warn about transmission to family members giving care (11 out of 11 familial clusters are bimodal).
