    Snippet: Transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in healthcare settings has significant implications for patients and healthcare workers, can amplify local outbreaks, and place additional burden on already stretched resources. Risk of missed or late diagnosis of COVID-19 was high during the United Kingdom’s initial ‘containment phase’, because of strict criteria for testing.

    Document: Transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in healthcare settings has significant implications for patients and healthcare workers, can amplify local outbreaks, and place additional burden on already stretched resources. Risk of missed or late diagnosis of COVID-19 was high during the United Kingdom’s initial ‘containment phase’, because of strict criteria for testing. The risk remains due to asymptomatic/pre-symptomatic transmission, complicated by challenges faced with laboratory testing. We present a case study of potential nosocomial transmission associated with the first case of COVID-19 at a large acute NHS Trust in South-West London and describe the prevailing burden of nosocomial infections.
