2019年冠状病毒病可能导致长期护理机构（LTCF）中老年人的显著死亡率。我们描述了4起LTCF疫情，其中大规模检测发现了高比例的无症状感染者（医护人员中为4%-41%，居民中为20%-75%），这表明仅基于筛查的筛查不足以监测COVID-19的传播。
Coronavirus disease 2019 can cause significant mortality in the elderly in long-term care facilities (LTCF). We describe 4 LTCF outbreaks where mass testing identified a high proportion of asymptomatic infections (4%-41% in healthcare workers and 20%-75% in residents), indicating that symptom-based screening alone is insufficient for monitoring for COVID-19 transmission.
