The increase in hygiene regulations and social distancing will reduce transmission.
COVID-19 has resulted in prescribing of antibiotics to patients that present respiratory issues - misuse of antibiotics is a major driver in AMR. In addition, patients colonised with multi-drug resistant organisms are typically treated in isolation, but they are now having to be treated in bays increasing transmission.
Yes I'm saying could we be facing a more imminent antimicrobial resistant pandemic due to COVID-19.

I wrote a post on the topic this week and would love people's opinions Link deleted
