Universal admission screening strategy for COVID-19 highlighted the clinical importance of reporting SARS-CoV-2 viral loads

Previously limited to symptomatic patients, our hospital introduced a universal admission screening strategy for coronavirus disease 2019 on 25 April 2020. All patients were tested by RT-PCR. We observed decreased viral loads linked to increased screening of asymptomatic patients highlighting the fa...

All patients were tested by RT-PCR. We observed decreased viral loads linked to increased screening of asymptomatic patients highlighting the fact that viral load values could guide infection control decisions.
