Sources of exposure and risk among employees infected with severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a large, urban, tertiary-care hospital in the United States.

Objective: Hospital employees are at risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection through transmission in 3 settings: (1) the community, (2) within the hospital from patient care, and (3) within the hospital from other employees. We evaluated probable sources of infection among hospital employees based on reported exposures before infection.

Design: A structured survey was distributed to participants to evaluate presumed COVID-19 exposures (ie, close contacts with people with known or probable COVID-19) and mask usage.

Dual Antiviral Therapy for Persistent Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Associated Organizing Pneumonia in an Immunocompromised Host.

The management of patients with prolonged viral shedding and coronavirus disease 2019 symptoms remains unclear. Combining antivirals, as practiced in other infections, is theoretically advantageous. We present a case of persistent, symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and associated organizing pneumonia that was successfully treated with an extended course of combination antiviral therapy.
