“…Active surveillance is crucial to detect unnoticed cases, and it is necessary to track issues and notify contacts to provide postexposure prophylaxis. Monitoring MPXV nucleic acids in sewer water and on surfaces may help detect the virus early [21] . An internationally accepted case definition for Mpox is needed, and testing must be widely available, especially in low-income countries and middle-income countries.…”

“…When an outbreak scenario is detected, the pathogen and the infected patient(s) are identified, the phase of the most time-consuming investigation starts: the error-prone collection of information about who has been in contact with infected patients, when, where and how long [8]. The result may be a list of people who are at risk and an area where infection may have taken place.…”

Nosocomial outbreaks require quick epidemiological clarification of possible chains of infection, since the pathogen usually has a head start that has to be caught up. Identification of people and areas at risk is crucial for efficient confinement. This paper describes a concept which can be applied to healthcare settings. The application skips the time-consuming and imperfect reconstruction of direct and indirect contacts. Indoor mobility of people and devices are instead measured precisely, and the mobility history is used to construct a spatio-temporal ‘landscape of infection’. This landscape allows for the calculation of a modelled ‘contamination landscape’ (CL) adding location-based prolongation of infectivity. In that way, the risk per person can be derived in case of an outbreak. The CL concept is extremely flexible and can be adapted to various pathogen-specific settings. The combination of advanced measurements and specific modelling results in an instant list of possible recipients who need to be examined directly. The modelled, pathogen-specific parameters can be adjusted to get as close as possible to the results of mass screenings.
