Abstract
On Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) wards, severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid was frequently detected on high-touch surfaces, floors, and socks inside patient rooms. Contamination of floors and shoes was common outside patient rooms on the COVID-19 wards but decreased after improvements in floor cleaning and disinfection.
