SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection Among Nursing Home Healthcare Workers: A Longitudinal Study in North‐Eastern Italy
In nursing homes, the risk of COVID-19 infection varied by job title and pandemic phase. Virus higher infectivity, probability of closer contact, and better adherence to infection prevention control may explain part of these differences. Stronger nursing home-specific surveillance in patients and employees should be extended worldwide to control this high global burden of disease communities.
