Viral genetic sequencing identifies staff transmission of COVID-19 is important in a community hospital outbreak

2021-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> We have successfully used whole-genome sequencing to provide additional information for transmission pathways in infectious spread. We report and interpret genomic sequencing results in clinical context from a large outbreak of COVID-19 with 46 cases across staff and patients in a community hospital in the UK. <h4>Methods</h4> Following multiple symptomatic cases within a two-week period, all s...
