Environmental sampling for SARS-CoV-2 in long term care facilities: lessons from a pilot study

2023-06-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted the risk of infection in long-term care facilities (LTCF) and the vulnerability of residents to severe outcomes. Environmental surveillance may help detect pathogens early and inform Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures in these settings. <h4>Methods: </h4>: Upon notification of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks, LTCF within a local authority in South We...
