| Summary: | Since data directly assessing no-touch modalities for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are not yet readily available, we conducted a rapid review of notouch modalities for disinfecting other respiratory viral pathogens in patient rooms in hospital/acute care settings. We also included studies reporting the effect of these modalities on Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile (CD) environmental contamination or infection (CDI) rates. Since CD spores are easily transmitted to surfaces and difficult to eradicate, 9 the notouch modalities that are effective against CD spores may be effective against SARS-CoV-2 |
