Abstract

Healthcare workers are at increased risk of occupational transmission of SARS-CoV-2. We report two instances of healthcare workers contracting SARS-CoV-2 despite no known breach of personal protective equipment. Additional specific equipment cleaning was initiated. Viral genomic sequencing supported this transmission hypothesis and our subsequent response.
