As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many IPs are struggling to balance the prevention of traditionally monitored HAIs with new workloads for managing COVID-19 surges.

Objectives:
- Understand the trends in hospital-acquired infections during the initial surges of COVID-19
- Discuss and explore the causes of increased infection rates, particularly CLABSI
- Prepare to re-implement important infection prevention strategies
