Article Synopsis
- The study examined healthcare-associated COVID-19 (HA-COVID-19) from September to November 2020 at Sorbonne University Hospital, revealing 209 reported cases and a significant mortality rate of 31.5% among HA-COVID-19 patients.
- The incidence of HA-COVID-19 was closely linked to community-associated cases (CA-COVID-19) and infections among healthcare workers (HCWs), indicating considerable nosocomial transmission.
