    59 Cases were reported as confirmed, which indicated detection by a molecular test, or probable, which indicated one of several options: (1) a positive antigen test, (2) a positive antibody test and either COVID-19 symptoms or known exposure to a confirmed case, or (3) COVID-19 symptoms with a known exposure to a confirmed case and diagnosis confirmed by a medical provider.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.

    Review 2: "Longitudinal monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA on high-touch surfaces in a community setting"

    This study investigates presence of SARS-CoV-2 contamination on high-touch surfaces and concludes that fomite-mediated is highly unlikely in real-world settings. Reviewers find the study's main claims reliable but emphasize limitations using SARS-CoV-2 RNA as a primary metric.
