Enhancing epidemiological investigation of nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 infection with whole genome sequencing: A retrospective cohort study across four hospitals in the UK

2021-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Despite robust efforts, patients and staff acquire SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitals. In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated whether whole-genome sequencing (WGS) could enhance the epidemiological investigation of healthcare-associated SARS-CoV-2 acquisition. <h4>Methods and findings</h4> From 17-November-2020 to 5-January-2021, 803 inpatients and 329 staff were diagnosed with SARS...
