Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) were disproportionately affected. To inform decision-making around interventions, we quantified the SARS-CoV-2 infection risk for residents and the relative contribution of different infection sources. We estimated the force of infection (FOI) experienced by Dutch LTCF residents over time and quantified the contributions of residents, LTCF healthcare workers (HCWs), and the general population.
