Prevention of Infections in Healthcare Facilities

Course overview

Cases of COVID-19 have increased around healthcare professionals. This calls for a review and revision of measures to prevent the spread of disease within a healthcare setting. SARS-CoV-2 spread may be faster and consideration of infection control practices should consider spread that can occur as a result of droplet, aerosol, and other body fluid contact. As a drug or vaccine is being investigated for SARS-CoV-2, healthcare professionals are solely reliant on infection control and prevention measures for safety and to help reduce transmission of infection.
