To date, in France, in the context of the SARS Cov2 pandemic,both the number of affected subjects and the number of severe forms requiring hospital care are increasing. Several nosocomial transmission clusters have already been identified in hospitals (both pediatric and adult) but there is still limited data on the nosocomial spread of SARS-Cov2. This nosocomial transmission affects both patients and caregivers. It is important to understand the spread of the virus within the hospital. This will help to optimize procedures to prevent transmission to caregivers and hospitalizedpatients not infected with SARS Cov2, and more generally this will contribute to control the spread of SARS Cov2 in the community
