Snippet: Background: COVID-19 is spreading rapidly in nursing homes (NHs). It is urgent to evaluate the effect of infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to reduce COVID spreading. Methods: We analysed COVID-19 outbreaks in 12 NH using rRT-PCR for SARS-CoV2. We estimated secondary attack risks (SARs) and identified cofactors associated with the proportion of infected residents. Results: The SAR was below 5%, suggesting a high efficiency of IPC measures. Mask-wearing or establishment of COVID-19 z
Document: Background: COVID-19 is spreading rapidly in nursing homes (NHs). It is urgent to evaluate the effect of infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to reduce COVID spreading. Methods: We analysed COVID-19 outbreaks in 12 NH using rRT-PCR for SARS-CoV2. We estimated secondary attack risks (SARs) and identified cofactors associated with the proportion of infected residents. Results: The SAR was below 5%, suggesting a high efficiency of IPC measures. Mask-wearing or establishment of COVID-19 zones for infected residents were associated with lower SAR. Conclusions: Wearing masks and isolating potentially infected residents appear to limit SARS-CoV-2 spread in nursing homes.
