Abstract
A COVID-19 superspreading event during sociotherapy activities highlighted the risk of a choir for transmission in mental health centres and the community, and the need for close control of such activities. The simultaneous identification of delta and beta variants of SARS-CoV-2 illustrated their different spreading abilities.

Abstract
We report the investigation to control an Enterobacter cloacae complex outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit from November 2020 to February 2021. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed that five of eight cases were infected with a clonal strain. Breast pumps, shared among mothers in the unit, could have contributed to the spread of the clonal spread.
