摘要

在 Omicron 病毒株流行期间，对 129 名冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）院内感染患者进行了分析。结果发现，Omicron株鼻腔感染的潜伏期为3天。在这些病例群中，每个病房中第一个感染 COVID-19 （FCP）的病人的传播途径是一个关键因素。医护人员传染给患者的病例很少，而且大多数 FCP 患者在日常生活中保持着较高的活动水平。FCP 中的主要院内感染途径可能是探视病人或病人之间的直接交谈。因此，可以通过教育病人采取感染控制措施（如正确佩戴口罩和保持手部卫生）来减少医院群感染。

Analysis of COVID-19 nosocomial clusters in an Omicron strain epidemic: importance of patient education on infection control measures

A cluster of 129 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) nosocomial infections was analysed during the Omicron strain epidemic. The incubation period for nosocomial Omicron strain infections was found to be 3 days. The transmission route of the first patient with COVID-19 (FCP) in each room is a critical factor within these clusters. There have been few cases of healthcare-worker-to-patient transmission, and most FCPs maintained high levels of activity in daily living. The primary routes of nosocomial infection among FCPs likely involved patient visits or direct conversations between patients. Therefore, hospital clusters can potentially be mitigated by educating patients on infection control measures, such as proper mask-waring and hand hygiene.
