Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: The results of the LTCF-ABM should be considered along with model limitations. We have tried to use realistic parameters when estimates are available from the literature. However, some parameters are not well studied. We assume a contact structure between staff and residents that is static over the simulation. This may not be true if staff limit their contact with each other and residents in the event of an outbreak. Researches have also documented increased risk to facilities whose staff work at other facilties.23 This additional risk is not explicitly modeled here but could be captured by assuming a higher community prevalence quantifying the risk of outside infection to staff. The testing protocol is determined at the beginning of the simulation and does not change. Facilities that detect a positive case may engage in investigation and more rigorous testing procedures to mitigate the further spread of the virus. However, one important result from our analysis is that when community transmission is present, there is a continual risk that a staff member reintroduces the virus.
