The lessons learned by health care workers in China are shared in the hope of preventing future occupational exposure.

These include changes in taste, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. A report has been published of a young patient who repeatedly tested positive in stool samples while nasopharyngeal tests remained negative. This raises doubts about our understanding of the dynamics of COVID-19 disease. The current report describes a need for selective stool testing to explore fecal shedding of viral RNA and presents a hypothesis for direct infection of enterocytes in cases of hypochlorhydria.Until recently, there was no national surveillance system for monitoring infection occurrence in long-term care facilities (LTCF) in the United States. As a result, there are no national benchmarks for LTCF infection rates that can be utilized for quality improvement at the facility level. One of the major challenges in the reporting of health care-related infection data is accounting for nonmodifiable facility and patient characteristics that influence benchmarks for infection. The objectives of this paper are to review (a) published infection rates in LTCF in the United States to assess the level of variability; (b) studies describing facility- and resident-level risk factors for infection that can be used in risk adjustment models; (c) published attempts to risk-adjust LTCF infection rates; and (d) efforts to develop models specifically for risk adjustment of infection rates in LTCF for benchmarking. It is anticipated that th
