Reprint of: Exploring tourists' motivations, constraints, and negotiations regarding outdoor recreation trips during COVID-19 through a focus group study.

Unlabelled: The current COVID-19 outbreak has duly influenced tourists' psychology and subsequently their behavior and decision making to participate in outdoor activities. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate tourists' motivations, perceived constraints, and negotiation strategies to participate in outdoor recreation trips, within the current COVID-19 context. To explore and categorize motivating factors, constraints, and negotiation strategies, we employed a qualitative approach via semi-structured online focus group discussion with 16 tourists (mostly residents of Utah, United States) during late summer 2020.

Mobile Phone: A Possible Vector of Bacterial Transmission in Hospital Setting.

Background Mobile phones of Health Care Workers (HCWs) are capable of harbouring microorganisms that can potentially cause nosocomial infections. Frequent movement of hospital staff inside and outside the hospital can augment bacterial transmission inside hospital and even to the community. Objective To screen the mobile phones of Health Care Workers for potential pathogens and perform microbiological study of the isolates.
