<p>A new <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajic.2023.10.010">study</a> published today in the <em>American Journal of Infection Control</em> (AJIC), based on a survey of healthcare professionals conducted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggests that new efforts may be needed to strengthen infection prevention precautions and protect staff members at the highest risk of exposure to dangerous pathogens. This is believed to be the first study of pandemic-era infection precautions to include a broad variety of healthcare jobs. Researchers found that workers who had the highest risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 were also the most likely to report errors in their own adherence to infection prevention measures.</p>
