Diagnosis and Management of First Case of COVID-19 in Canada: Lessons Applied From SARS-CoV-1

Xavier Marchand-Senécal et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

We report diagnosis and management of the first laboratory-confirmed case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalized in Toronto, Canada. No healthcare-associated transmission occurred. In the face of a potential pandemic of COVID-19, we suggest sustainable and scalable control measures developed based on lessons learned from severe acute respiratory syndrome.

Keywords: 2019-nCoV; COVID-19; Coronavirus; Infection Prevention; SARS-CoV-2.
