The impact of real-time whole genome sequencing in controlling healthcare-associated SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks

2021-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Nosocomial infections have posed a significant problem during the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting bed capacity and patient flow in hospitals. Effective infection control measures and identifying areas of highest risk is required to reduce the risk of spread to patients who are admitted with other illnesses. This is the first pandemic where whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been re...
