Notably, repeated inpatient testing of individuals was, in general, directed toward those undergoing procedures, those in whom signs or symptoms suggested possible COVID-19, those with acute changes in status requiring intensive care unit (ICU) or intermediate (IMC) care, and/or based on provider judgment. For the single positive inpatient without a prior history of SARS-CoV-2, chart review revealed that this adult patient lived in a community setting, had mild symptoms (sinus congestion, eye pain, and cough) that started 10 days prior to admission, and was self-isolating at home. We believe that infection was present from community exposure prior to admission; therefore, we did not find any laboratory-confirmed cases suggestive of possible nosocomially acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection despite a substantial inpatient population with and without COVID-19. ./cache/cord-268935-4obwu75u.txt ./txt/cord-268935-4obwu75u.txt
