| Popis: | Masking and social distancing have been adopted to mitigate the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic. We evaluated the indirect impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 prevention strategies on invasive Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and Group A Streptococcus in Houston area children. We observed a decline in invasive pneumococcal disease and invasive Group A Streptococcus temporally associated with social distancing/masking/school closures. |
