Abstract
Throughout the current COVID-19 pandemic, preventing nosocomial COVID-19 outbreaks has been a significant challenge for hospitals. It is essential to understand the ways in which SARS-CoV-2 spreads in healthcare settings to apply proper infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. The objectives of this study are to report on the hospital's response to a COVID-19 cluster and the transmission dynamics in a hospital ward of Geriatrics, Rehabilitation and Long term care. The study will focus specifically on how insufficient air replacement and directional airflow in indoor settings may have contributed to the transmission of the virus.
