Escape mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 are a major reason for Omicron breakthrough infections. After basal vaccination only very low titers of Omicron neutralizing antibodies are present. However, booster vaccinations induce higher

The historically dominant SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and the currently dominant Omicron variants carry a T492I substitution within the non-structural protein 4 (NSP4). Based on in silico analyses, we hypothesized that the T492I mutation increases viral

CONCLUSION: These mixed findings reflect the uncertainty of the effect the pandemic has had on HAI's. Factors to consider in this analysis include local epidemiology, differences between public and private sector facilities, changes in patient

During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers (HcWs) reported having high levels of psychological stress caused by the risk of being infected and infecting their families, social isolation, and inadequate protective equipment

CONCLUSION: The SACMC's models, developed rapidly in an emergency setting and regularly updated with local data, supported national and provincial government to plan several months ahead, expand hospital capacity when needed, allocate budgets and
