cord-337396-g69bb60d	Ogawa, Yoshihiko	Assessing the effects of exposure to a SARS-CoV-2 re-positive patient in healthcare personnel	2020-11-07		.txt	text/plain	1785	121	56	A follow-up survey was conducted with healthcare personnel (HCP) who were exposed to a patient whose PCR test results for SARS-CoV-2 were re-positive 18 days after the initial confirmation of negative PCR results. No apparent infection was found in any of the HCP who had contact exposure with and/or aerosol exposure to the patient whose PCR test results for SARS-CoV-2 were re-positive 18 days after the initial confirmation of negative results of PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2. Thus, we created a policy that for patients whose sputum and/or nasopharyngeal PCR test results for SARS-CoV-2 were negative when measured twice separately over 24 h, we stopped the precautions against aerosol transmission. We did not perform PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 until the 63rd day of illness, and the result of this test was re-negative. In conclusion, no HCP were infected by contact with and aerosol exposures to SARS-CoV-2 re-positive patients in our hospital.	./cache/cord-337396-g69bb60d.txt	./txt/cord-337396-g69bb60d.txt
