Patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-the virus responsible for the development of COVID-19-pose a substantial threat of spreading the virus because they come in contact with other susceptible individuals given the close quarters and communal living environments. 9 One potential strategy for improving detection could involve testing all patients for COVID-19 at two or more time points before entry to the inpatient unit to mitigate the risk of false negative results for those with uncertain time of disease onset. ./cache/cord-270896-uw59kk4y.txt ./txt/cord-270896-uw59kk4y.txt
