A high percentage of healthcare workers (HCWs) who had met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for returning to work 5 days after symptom onset remained positive for their return-to-work COVID-19 antigen test, suggesting continued infectiousness. Boosted HCWs were more likely to be antigen positive on their return-to-work test compared to unvaccinated HCWs, which merits further research.
很大比例的医护人员在出现症状5天后达到了疾病控制与预防中心的复工标准,但他们复工时的新冠病毒抗原检测仍呈阳性,这表明他们仍具有传染性。与未接种疫苗的医护人员相比,接种了加强针的医护人员复工检测时抗原呈阳性的可能性更大,这值得进一步研究。
