In response to the CRAB outbreak at hospital A, CDPH recommended that the hospital stop crisis-capacity protocols for PPE, conduct admission screening and point-prevalence testing for CRAB, implement a hand hygiene campaign, and use an EPA-registered List K product for environmental cleaning. These recommendations were implemented in May 2021, and no CRAB cases have been reported since July 2021. To reduce CRAB transmission during the pandemic, facility leadership must commit resources to educate staff on effective infection control practices including conventional use of PPE, appropriate cleaning agents, and improved hand hygiene.", "acf2caae-0773-4eb2-bb10-57a01b19e200": "jabramson"}
