In this prospective study, universal admission testing for severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) averted transmission in shared patient rooms especially since the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant when the yield in identifying infectious asymptomatic cases more than doubled. This change may be due to the higher rate of asymptomatic infection with the omicron variant, the broader community prevalence during the omicron era, or both.
在这项前瞻性研究中,对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)进行普遍入院检测避免了在共享病房中的传播,特别是自SARS-CoV-2奥密克戎变异株出现以来,识别传染性无症状病例的检出率增加了一倍多。这种变化可能是由于奥密克戎变异株无症状感染率较高、奥密克戎流行期间社区传播范围更广,或两者兼而有之。
