Originally Published 2 years ago — by World Health Organization
The living guideline on infection prevention and control in the context of COVID-19 consolidates technical guidance into evidence-informed recommendations for IPC. It includes statements on various IPC measures in health-care settings and mask fit in the community context. The updated version focuses on transitioning from emergency response to sustained disease prevention, control, and management. It emphasizes the adoption of standard and transmission-based precautions in health-care facilities and public health practices in community settings, along with the implementation of control measures and occupational health and safety measures to prevent health care-associated infections.
