The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed significant burden on healthcare systems. We compared infection (CDI) epidemiology before and during the pandemic across 71 hospitals participating in the Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program. Using an interrupted time series analysis, we showed that CDI rates significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
