Abstract

  A nursery school is provided for the healthcare workers in our hospital. In April 2011, an outbreak of rotavirus infection occurred at the nursery school. At the time, the strategy of infection control for our nursery school was inadequate. An infection control team performed the following intervention: preparation of an infection control manual for the nursery school, and establishment of methods to report an outbreak and corresponding route of the infection. Our interventions led to increased awareness among the nursery school teachers and healthcare workers about infection control at the nursery school. Since then, no outbreak of infection has occurred in the nursery school. Therefore, sufficient intervention of an infection control team is necessary for nursery schools in hospitals.<br>
