On April 1, 2020, the CDC updated its Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations, applicable to all U.S. healthcare settings but not applicable to non-healthcare settings or persons outside of such settings. The updated guidance addresses three key concepts: 1) Limiting how germs can enter the facility; 2) Isolating symptomatic patients as soon as possible; and 3) Protecting healthcare personnel. The updated guidance is based on current information about COVID-19, including reports of community transmission, infections identified in healthcare personnel, shortages of facemasks, N95 respirators and gowns.
