抄録

無症候性の感染率が高いことから、集団ケアの設定におけるルーチン検査の利点が示唆されている。SARS-CoV-2スクリーニングは、COVID-19の症例が知られていない単一の介護施設で実施され、入所者の有病率は85％、スタッフの有病率は37％であった。血清検査は感染症の特定には役に立たなかった。

High rates of asymptomatic infection suggest benefits to routine testing in congregate care settings. SARS-CoV-2 screening was undertaken in a single nursing facility without a known case of COVID-19, demonstrating an 85% prevalence among residents and 37% among staff. Serology was not helpful in identifying infections.
