Since going online on 18th April, the BushProof document Care homes strategy for Infection Prevention & Control of Covid-19 based on clear delineation of risk zones has been widely cited and discussed, and has influenced how infection prevention is being advocated and carried out in the UK. So far it made it into the following documents:
– Gordon, A.L. et al (2020) Commentary: COVID in care homes—challenges and dilemmas in healthcare delivery. Age and Ageing 2020, p.3.
– Carter, R. (2020) Covid-19: The support UK care homes need to survive. BMJ 2020; 369:m1858, p.2.
