Detection of diverse respiratory viruses in Boston was approximately 80% lower after
practices were instituted to limit coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread compared
with the same time period during the previous 5 years. Continuing the strategies that lower
COVID-19 dissemination may be useful in decreasing the incidence of other viral respiratory
infections.
Abstract
Detection of diverse respiratory viruses in Boston was approximately 80% lower after practices were instituted to limit coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread compared with the same time period during the previous 5 years. Continuing the strategies that lower COVID-19 dissemination may be useful in decreasing the incidence of other viral respiratory infections.
