Assessment of handwashing impact on detection of Sars-CoV-2, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli on hands in rural and urban settings of Côte d’Ivoire during Covid-19 pandemic
Bibliographic Data
No SARS-CoV-2 was detected on the hands of participants in both sites, suggesting that our study did not show direct transmission through hands. No E. coli was found in urban Abidjan while E. coli was found on the hands of participants in rural Taabo indicating poor hand washing and disinfection practices in rural Taabo. Living in urban Abidjan is statistically associated to having Staphylococcus spp. on hands. Further studies are necessary especially to understand to what extent the presence of Staphylococcus spp. on hands indicates a higher infection or fecal colonization rates in the case of E. coli
