All 51 employees with access to this strain were screened for ongoing or recent poliovirus infection. One employee shedding WPV3 was identified on 8 December and placed in isolation; monitoring and contact tracing were initiated. WPV3 shedding continued for 4 weeks and stopped 5 January 2023. Isolation was lifted 11 January and no further transmission was detected.
