The Impact of Real-Time Whole-Genome Sequencing in Controlling Healthcare-Associated SARS-CoV-2 Outbreaks

Rodric Francis et al.

Summary: Utilizing whole-genome sequencing technology to analyze SARS-CoV-2 clusters in hospital settings helps to identify the origin and transmission pathways of outbreaks, enabling timely intervention measures. Additionally, this technology can also exclude false nosocomial transmission events, saving healthcare resources.

Understanding Early Pandemic Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Transmission in a Medical Center by Incorporating Public Sequencing Databases to Mitigate Bias

Jacquelyn Turcinovic et al.

Summary: Through the incorporation of sequences from public genomic databases, it was discovered that 73% of coronavirus cases in healthcare workers are likely novel introductions rather than nosocomial spread. This highlights the importance of expanding public genomic surveillance for infection control measures.

Asymptomatic carriage rates and case fatality of SARS-CoV-2 infection in residents and staff in Irish nursing homes

Sean P. Kennelly et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on nursing homes in three Irish Community Health Organisations, finding that around one-third of nursing homes experienced COVID-19 outbreaks with high infection rates. The resident infection rate was 43.9%, with a case fatality rate of 27.6%. There was a similar proportion of residents developing COVID-19 in nursing homes with early-stage versus later-stage outbreaks, but lower recovery rates in early outbreak homes. Nearly a quarter of staff were asymptomatic carriers of the virus.

Phylogenetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Boston highlights the impact of superspreading events

Jacob E. Lemieux et al.

Summary: Analysis of 772 complete genomes of SARS-CoV-2 from early in the Boston-area epidemic shows multiple introductions of the virus, with two distinct superspreading events. One at a nursing facility resulted in rapid transmission and significant mortality, while the other at an international business conference led to sustained community transmission and widespread spread. The genetic variation generated by these events differed substantially, indicating varying transmission dynamics in superspreading events.

Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Carriers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Gopiram Syangtan et al.

Summary: Asymptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 play a crucial role in magnifying the transmission of COVID-19, with children and females more likely to present as asymptomatic cases. Therefore, establishing a mass surveillance system to track potential asymptomatic cases is essential, with special attention to females and children.

Risk factors for outbreaks of COVID-19 in care homes following hospital discharge: A national cohort analysis

Chris Emmerson et al.

Summary: An analysis of 3115 hospital discharges and 1068 adult care homes in relation to COVID-19 outbreaks found that large homes were at greater risk throughout the epidemic, but hospital discharge was not significantly associated with increased risk after adjusting for care home size. Care home size was the most significant predictor of outbreak risk.

Impact of COVID-19 on care-home mortality and life expectancy in Scotland

Jennifer K. Burton et al.

Summary: This study quantified the mortality burden of COVID-19 on care-home residents and found it to be common. Results showed that COVID-19 infection has led to the loss of substantial years of life in care-home residents aged 70 years and over in Scotland. Prioritizing vaccination for care-home residents aged 70 and over is justified not only in terms of total deaths, but also in terms of years of life lost.

Are presymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in nursing home residents unrecognised symptomatic infections? Sequence and metadata from weekly testing in an extensive nursing home outbreak

Judith H. van den Besselaar et al.

Summary: This study found a high proportion of residents and staff with presymptomatic and asymptomatic infections during a nursing home outbreak, with asymptomatic staff showing high infection rates. Regular testing proved to be an effective strategy for early detection of SARS-CoV-2 cases and rapid outbreak control.

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among healthcare workers and patients in a teaching hospital in the Netherlands confirmed by whole-genome sequencing

S. Paltansing et al.

Summary: The study in a teaching hospital in the Netherlands found that during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients and healthcare workers were infected with the same virus cluster. Following measures like universal masking and emphasizing physical distancing, no further evidence of transmission between patients and healthcare workers or among healthcare workers was found.

Summary: Understanding the effectiveness of infection control methods in healthcare settings for reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission is crucial. By sequencing SARS-CoV-2 genomes and integrating patient and healthcare worker movement data, researchers identified outbreak clusters and enhanced infection control strategies within healthcare facilities.

Assignment of epidemiological lineages in an emerging pandemic using the pangolin tool

Aine O'Toole et al.

Summary: The global virus genomics community has responded unprecedentedly to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, leading to significant advances in 'real-time' generation and sharing of genomic data. The development of new analytical methods, such as pangolin, has been necessary to handle the rapid growth in virus genome data production. Pangolin has processed nearly two million virus genomes, aiding in SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology and providing researchers with valuable information about the pandemic's transmission lineages.

Summary: An outbreak of COVID-19 in a nursing home in the Netherlands was initially linked to a church service, but further investigation revealed multiple introductions of the virus in the weeks prior to the outbreak, highlighting the need for careful outbreak investigations to understand transmission and develop evidence-based mitigation measures.
