SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 ribonucleic acid (RNA) was detected by reverse transcription\u2010polymerase chain reaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 22.2% of PPE samples were positive for SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 RNA. Boot covers and gowns were the most contaminated types of PPE. The positive PPE contamination rate of staff collecting respiratory specimens was significantly higher than that of the general\u2013treatment staff group (35.8% vs. 12.2%) and cleaner group (35.8% vs. 26.4%), <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01. In total, 27 of 265 (10.2%) environmental surface samples were positive for SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 RNA. The contamination\u2010positive rates were 26.8% (22\/82), 5.4% (4\/74), and 0.9% (1\/109) for contaminated, potentially contaminated, and clean zones, respectively. SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 RNA was frequently detected on objects such as mobile phones, tables, computer keyboards and mice, and door handles.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 RNA was widely distributed on high\u2010touch surfaces and on PPE in the contaminated zone of the Fangcang shelter hospital, implying a potentially high infection risk for healthcare workers. Our findings emphasize the need to ensure adequate environmental cleaning, improve hand hygiene, and reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, prevention of self\u2010contamination during PPE donning and doffing is complex and needs more research.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.23513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,3]],"date-time":"2023-07-03T03:04:35Z","timestamp":1688353475000},"page":"805-812","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Contamination of SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 RNA on personal protective equipment and environmental surfaces in nonpatient entry area of a Fangcang shelter hospital"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Xue\u2010E","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nosocomial Infection Control, The Second Affiliated Hospital Army Medical University Chongqing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ChenHao","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, The Second Affiliated Hospital Army Medical University Chongqing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"YeTao","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nosocomial Infection Control, The Second Affiliated Hospital Army Medical University Chongqing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tang","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Second Affiliated Hospital Army Medical University Chongqing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nosocomial Infection Control, The Second Affiliated Hospital Army Medical University Chongqing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhin.2020.11.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19095560"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30744-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30421-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0258820"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciz613"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1408.080085"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cix957"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
