Just want to clarify that it's likely the Mother was the Index case. Child tested negative at the hospital. Mother was asymptomatic but developed symptoms 2 days after discharge, tested positive on day 4. Child tested positive on day 6.
Another key quote:
"As some of the report's authors were taking part in the medical round and got infected, we can declare there was full compliance with PPE guidelines."

Picture of room setup
Only 3 to 4 ACHs, seems way too low for a hospital.
Key take-aways summarized here. Need #bettermasks because #COVIDisAirborne. More focus on #ventilation and #filtration.
