Nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

SARS-CoV-2 spreads in many different types of environments including within healthcare settings. Understanding how much transmission happens in hospitals or in the community will aid our ability to control ongoing spread, as well as to improve interventions. By knowing what factors make certain hospitals hotspots of transmission we can limit spread by targeting these factors in particular. Within this project we will use mathematical and statistical techniques to harness the UK wide data on hospital cases to understand how important transission of SARS-CoV-2 in hospitals was to the first "wave" of COVID-19 in the UK and what we could do in the face of any future resurgence.
