Abstract
The first case of SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, in the United States was reported on January 22, 2020,1 and the disease continues to spread throughout the United States relatively quickly. Even before cases were confirmed in the US, many Infection Preventionists (IP) were involved in preparation activities for their facilities. As cases spread, and the disease came closer to home, most IP departments saw COVID-19 take over the majority of their daily activities. As IPs have managed preparedness and response for questions about the science of this disease, personal protective equipment, modes of transmission, and hundreds of details and minutia related to caring for these patients, there has been reduced time to focus on healthcare associated infection (HAI) surveillance and compliance with prevention bundles.
