Participants completed two questionnaires and received up to two SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction tests, during and at the end of quarantine.Results: Among 395 participants, quarantine duration ranged from 2 to 20 days. By day 11 since the last contact, 11.1% [95% CI 8.4%-14.7%] were infected with SARS-CoV-2. The proportion of participants with symptoms of depression doubled from 9.3% before quarantine to 18.9% during quarantine, and 12.1% reported quarantine was very or extremely difficult.Conclusion: Although quarantine was only moderately burdensome for most participants, some experienced significant difficulties and burden.

This study evaluated the antibiotics susceptibility pattern of S. aureus isolates from breeders and livestock.Methods: S. aureus strains were isolated from 180 livestock and 48 livestock farmers and identified using standard methods.

MRSA carriage among livestock isolates was 41.3%, while, six isolates from the poultry farm worker were MRSA, representing a carriage of 33.3%. Drug susceptibility profiles revealed differential patterns between isolates from breeders and animals. Gentamicin and levofloxacin demonstrated higher efficacy against farm worker isolates compared to animal isolates. Resistance to cefuroxime was higher among animal isolates (84.1%) as against the 66.7% for the breeders.Conclusion: The identification of multidrug-resistant S. aureus strains underscores the risk posed to humans in contact with animals.
