Abstract
Our study has some potential limitations. We could not determine whether the infection in the nursery worker was the real index case because one of the children's parents had tested positive within the previous 2 weeks and that child could also have been the primary case. Moreover, we could not verify the information we obtained from the nursery about the facility's prevention methods.
