Description: Amidst the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, infection prevention and control (IPC) guidelines aimed at preventing nosocomial transmission of the novel Sars-CoV-2 virus have involved even more rigorous interventions such as the screening of healthcare workers and visitors, universal masking policies and patient segregation, typically in addition to the previously described IPC strategies for hospital-acquired infections (HAI). It is unknown how these additional measures have influenced rates of HAIs during the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this systematic scoping review is to delineate the range and any changes in the incidence and prevalence of HAIs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
