Infection control measures to prevent outbreaks of COVID-19 in Quebec hemodialysis units

Rates of COVID-19 infection among hemodialysis recipients in Quebec were elevated compared to the general populationduring the first year of the pandemic, and although hemodialysis units throughout the province implemented appropriate IPACmeasures rapidly in the spring of 2020, many units were crowded and could not maintain physical distancing. Future hemodialysis units should be designed to minimize airborne and droplet transmission of infection.Étude ayant impliqué le CISSSMO.
