Abstract
The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron variant increases risk for nosocomial transmission despite universal masking, admission testing, and symptom screening. We report large increases in hospital-onset infections and 2 unit-based clusters. The clusters rapidly abated after instituting universal N95 respirators and daily testing. Broader use of these strategies may prevent nosocomial transmissions.
摘要
高传染性的严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 型奥密克戎变体增加了院内传播的风险，尽管普遍戴口罩、入院检测和症状筛查。我们报告了医院感染和 2 个基于单元的集群的大量增加。在普遍使用 N95 呼吸器和每日检测后，这些集群迅速得到遏制。更广泛地使用这些策略可能会阻止医院内的传播。
