cord-338680-wwlttymp	Khonyongwa, K.	Incidence and outcomes of healthcare-associated COVID-19 infections: significance of delayed diagnosis and correlation with staff absence	2020-07-30		.txt	text/plain	4839	288	53	Due to the high prevalence of infection during the peak of the outbreak, one of the suggested strategies to prevent healthcare transmission was to screen all patients on admission by a single combined nose and throat swab assessed for SARS-CoV-2 RNA to allow segregation into COVID-19 positive and non COVID-19 cohort wards. The latter included assessment of the utility of a single combined throat and nose swab (CTNS) for patient placement, delayed RNA positivity, COVID-19 patients as sources of infection, self-reported COVID-19 sickness absence among hospital staff hospital bed occupancy, community incidence, and the incidence of other significant hospital-acquired infections. NHS England released its reporting criteria in May 2020 (written communication described in supplementary data) following which cases were also classified as per date of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection. Correlation between weekly incidence of HA-COVID-19 (including late indeterminate cases) and staff self-reported sickness absence, delayed RNA positive cases, community incidence and Trust COVID-19 bed occupancy is displayed in figure 3.	./cache/cord-338680-wwlttymp.txt	./txt/cord-338680-wwlttymp.txt
