Zusammenfassung:[...]COVID-19 was detected in Site 1 (the chest drain catheter), confirming that the virus can potentially spread from a chest drain. [...]COVID-19 was not detected in Site 2, suggesting that the 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate solution was effective against SARS-CoV-2. Because the virus was not detected in Site 3, the negative result in Site 4 does not necessarily demonstrate the efficacy of the BVF in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
