Article Synopsis
- A multi-tiered infection control strategy was developed and evaluated in a Singapore healthcare campus during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent the spread of respiratory viral infections among patients and healthcare workers.
- From January to June 2020, key measures included improved patient segregation, distancing, and universal masking, resulting in low nosocomial transmission rates.
- The implementation of these strategies helped maintain low COVID-19 rates among healthcare workers and led to a significant decrease in healthcare-associated respiratory viral infections among inpatients.
