Fig. 5 — Number of nosocomial infections among patients and HCWs over time for all simulation scenarios with the SARS-CoV-2 variant. Results shown are based on R_S = 1.95 and R_A = 0.8 (reproduction numbers for the SARS-CoV-2 variant with 56% higher transmissibility with respect to the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 variant). For each scenario, the 7-day moving average of the mean prevalence (over 100 simulation runs) is shown. A Number of hospital-acquired infections among patients. B Number of hospital-acquired infections among HCWs. For screening every 3 days and contact tracing 7 days prior to symptom onset of SARS-CoV-2 infected HCWs, we considered two different test sensitivity scenarios: time-invariant perfect test sensitivity (perfect sens) and time-varying imperfect test sensitivity
