Congregate settings such as psychiatric units have an increased risk of disease transmission because of the milieu setting and the inability to isolate patients. Interventions to prevent infection and cross-contamination are discussed including monitoring of patient temperatures, personal protective equipment, remote care, monitoring of human resources, and reinforcement of infection prevention strategies. We discuss the effectiveness of those interventions and the lessons learned, including implications for psychiatric clinical care, during future pandemics or a next wave of COVID-19.
聚集性场所（如精神科病房）由于环境和无法隔离患者而增加了疾病传播的风险。本文讨论了预防感染和交叉污染的干预措施，包括监测患者体温、个人防护设备、远程护理、人力资源监测以及加强感染预防策略。我们讨论了这些干预措施的有效性和经验教训，包括对未来大流行或下一波 COVID-19 期间精神科临床护理的影响。
