Regular monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 carriage and antibody levels against the virus helped maintain social interactions for Alzheimer's disease residents in a Belgian nursing home during the pandemic
We show that a strict protocol aimed at early case detection and anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunity follow-up has enabled ADRD residents from a Belgian nursing home to maintain social interactions thanks to the ability of study participants to remove masks, while minimizing the risk of infection.
