Impact of COVID-19 RT-PCR Testing of Asymptomatic Health Care Workers on Absenteeism and Hospital Transmission During the Pandemic

2022-03-03

Abstract excerpt

Reducing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic patients is critical in controlling the circulation of the virus. This study evaluated the prevalence of RT-PCR positivity in serial tests (every 20 days) in 429 asymptomatic health care workers (HCW) and its impact on absenteeism from May to August 2020. Asymptomatic HCW from a COVID-19 reference hospital in Campinas (1.2 million inhabi...
