We studied the contamination with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the bacterial load of high-touch surfaces located in public areas next to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hospitalization units. Ninety-two samples were obtained from 46 different high-touch surfaces: 36 sites next to COVID-19 hospitalization units and 10 sites in the cabins of the public elevators. SARS-CoV-2 was not detected at any site, despite high bacterial loads suggested that the studied sites had been frequently touched prior to the sampling.
我们研究了位于紧邻冠状病毒病(COVID-19)住院区的公共区域的高接触表面的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)污染和细菌负荷情况。从 46 个不同的高接触表面采集了 92 个样本:COVID-19 住院区旁边的 36 个点和公共电梯轿厢中的 10 个点。尽管所研究的表面在采样前曾被频繁触摸,表明细菌负荷很高,但在任何地点均未检测到 SARS-CoV-2。
