Explosive Nosocomial Outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in a Rehabilitation Clinic: The Limits of Genomics for Outbreak Reconstruction

2021-03-08

Abstract excerpt

Background: Nosocomial outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are frequent despite implementation of conventional infection control measures. We performed an outbreak investigation using advanced genomic and statistical techniques to reconstruct likely transmission chains and assess the role of healthcare workers (HCWs) in SARS-CoV-2 transmission.<br><br>Methods: We investigated...
