- Abstract
Objective: To identify in the scientific literature recommendations for early detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly. Method: This is a Scoping Review according to Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers' Manual, with data collected in June and July 2021, in publications by SciELO, PubMed, MEDLINE, Portal BVS, Scopus, and CINAHL, without time limitation. Result: The articles presented the importance of the RT-P-CR test and RT-PCR serological test, as well as imaging exams and clinical-epidemiological criteria, in employees and elderly people from Long Stay Institutions for the Elderly. In this way, it is necessary for institutions to describe in their contingency plans the recommendations for controlling the spread of SARS-CoV-2, explaining the frequency of collection of exams, as well as specifying the type and situation of application. Conclusion: early detection in Long Stay Institutions for the Elderly is essential to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in these health services.
