SARS-CoV-2 RNA and viable virus contamination of hospital emergency department surfaces and association with patient COVID-19 status and aerosol generating procedures

2022-12-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Infectious aerosols and droplets generated by SARS-CoV-2–positive patient aerosol generating procedures (AGPs), coughing, or exhalation could potentially contaminate surfaces, leading to indirect SARS-CoV-2 spread via fomites. Our objective was to determine SARS-CoV-2 surface contamination frequency in Emergency Department (ED) patient rooms with respect to patient SARS-CoV-2 status and AGP rec...
